How to Advocate Forcefully for Your Child with ADHD

Children with ADHD encounter more barriers at school, in the community, and even at home. No one understands these hurdles — and how to best overcome them — better than your family. Here, parent advocate Penny Williams outlines the best ways to share these strategies clearly and effectively.

oops sorry, I mean to ask if there are any articles on how to **forcefully** advocate for yourself as an **adult** with ADHD. There are alot of situations where walking away is not an option. There are places we have to be, and if a person is treating you wrong because they don’t understand your difficulties and they refuse to even let you speak or try to find a better solution, you have to be able to forcefully advocate for yourself.

  Advocating for yourself as an adult with ADHD, especially in the workplace, becomes a lot more complicated and nuanced, unfortunately.
