When you receive an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, the story of your own childhood often comes into sharp focus. But what about the child now sitting across from you at the dinner table? Their forgotten homework, their emotional meltdowns after school, their constant fidgeting or daydreaming. This book is for parents who want to understand whether their own late recognition might be the key to recognising their child's needs earlier. You will learn how ADHD typically shows up differently in children than in adults, with special attention to overlooked presentations like inattentive type, emotional dysregulation, and how gender affects expression. It explores the overlap with anxiety and giftedness, how to have sensitive conversations with your child, teachers, and doctors, and the importance of pacing your own reflection alongside theirs. Without rushing toward a label or avoiding one, you will find practical steps for observation, communication, and self care as a neurodivergent parent. Part of The Late Diagnosis Library.
