Dear Parent,

I am a sixteen year old boy. I had quite a late diagnosis of ADHD, and things at home were really bad.

I couldn't get on with my Mum, I didn't like going to school, I hung around with the wrong crowd and started getting into trouble with the Police.

When my Mum went on a course to understand ADHD, things slowly started to get better. I then went on a course to learn how to understand and manage myself, and it really helped me.

If my Mum and me didn't understand about ADHD, we would still be in the same position we were in, or maybe worse.

I volunteer some of my time now to work for ADHD Foundation and I would ask you to give the course a chance because it really does help.

Best wishes,

Alfie
