Description
Life with her son Daniel has been a challenging journey for Alison Thompson. Her experiences as a parent have been marked by difficulties such as disobedience and aggression, which led to a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with secondary Oppositional Defiant Disorder and autistic traits. In this honest account, Alison shares the first 18 years of Daniel's life, exposing her own worries and doubts, as well as her exceptional courage at every pivotal turn. The book also offers practical advice on raising a child with ADHD, including what has worked and what hasn't, as well as guidance for teachers and fellow parents. By sharing her experiences, Alison raises important questions about how the education system supports children with special needs and whether medication can be an effective solution for managing ADHD in children.
