New to this - who am I going to be?

Seanaust

Hello! I'm pretty close to being diagnosed with ADHD and asperges and was wondering if the community could tell me what this will mean for me as an adult, particularly in regard to raising children - the internet so far has not been very enlightening.

  • What I really mean is that you'll be who you are now...with all the qualities you already have and they'll love you for it. They won't care about the labels. I probably seem a bit difficult to my sons on a day when OCD rules the roost but they are used to it. It's their normal and they tell me they love me very much as I do them of course. I told my son today that we are all the same and all different and that all of us are wired differently and that is normal.

  • I'm not ASD or ADHD (my son has ASD) but I have OCD and when pregnant I asked my doctor how my son would cope with me as a mother (I was feeling low). She replied so kindly that I was his mum and that he would just accept me as being as I was...
