Hi all, this is a sensitive subject, so I won't expect a lot of replies. I have issues with alcohol, as it slows me down and helps block my thoughts. I also have ADHD. I'm managing to avoid it but the need is always there.
I've done quite a lot of reading in this area and I've read that substance abuse is common with these conditions, and with SpLDs in general. I mentioned this on one of my, normally friendly, Facebook groups and was slated, called judgemental etc and that my comments were unacceptable. It made me cry and I had to delete the post.
Am I wrong? I really do need to hear the evidence from sufferers.
Thank you,
Alex
