:group_hugthe guilt is a waste of energy angel, the energy would be far better spent on talking to him and explaining to him that it was not his fault in any way [if you have not done so already] and getting him to explain to you how he feels about it [given the hyperactivity maybe play a game or go for a walk while you are discussing it – gives him something to do while you are talking?]:group_hug

the guilt does not make anything better and really it is not surprising that you almost dying changed him; its a huge experience and a not very nice one at that:cry: he is maybe having more difficulty expressing how it affected him than the other children and is lashing out at others in his frustration at this? [where language / communications skills are inadequate to need many people react like this – he is not alone if this is the case, lots of ‘normal’ people do this too:wink:]

my bf has a.d.d and i sometimes notice he is very distant and not always there. i ask him if he is ok and he says yes…but being a hormonal female i assume something is wrong with me or i have pissed him off.
also he seems to forget things easily. i love him so much but i just dont know when itshis a.d.d or its him.
he is 18 i am 20..but this is no issue at all because he is actually mature for his age..can still act like a twat when mashed though:crazy: haha
now he has gone to uni and i am sat here wondering will he forgot to call em etc!
its so hard to feel like your losing someone…i havent cos we still togther but only seeing him twice a month will actually be painfull.
oh well
haha
advise please?

all the vague stuff and forgetfullness is typical of ADD so dont worry :group_hug:group_hug:group_hug

it took me several years to get to grip with that myself but i finally realised it was nothing personal and i am much happier now :weee:

they are very easily distracted unless it is something they are very very interested in they will often drift away while you are talking to them [ if they are very interested in something they probably wont even realise you are talking to them :laugh_at::laugh_at:]

borrow/read a copy of ‘Driven to Distraction’ which you can find on amazon [where i got mine] it will be a great help to you and him :groucho:

the inside of their head is like a tv with all the channels playing at once so its hard to hear a single channel

try to laugh with him about forgetting stuff rather than getting upset about it [he doesnt do it deliberately :wink:]

and go and read some of the forums for sufferers – you’ll see they are all like that [the people ] and there are some funny stories about forgetting things:groucho:

i once asked my other half to clean the bathroom and wound up getting it redecorated [but not cleaned :laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:]

i hear what you are saying about diet but it is as over simplistic a solution as accusing all people who are a bit different of having ADD or ADHD

there are people who genuinely do have ADD or ADHD – it is not their fault that society in its desire to enforce conformity would rather apply the label globally than spend the time required to make the diagnosis in each individual case to make sure it is right – only those who have the condition should be treated for it with medication and not all cases are so severe as to require medication
