#2 I have seen too many parents push their children into “their failed dreams” for both ADHD and neurotypical kids. My mother decided that I was the independent son that would wander and somehow make my own way in the world, so no direction or advice from her. I was 25 when my mother-in-law pushed me to try a trade that I found potentially interesting, I had been surviving as a leather craftsman, construction labourer and commercial fisherman. Those were all interesting occupations but long term it could be difficult to pay the bills and raise a family and she saw much greater potential in me.
