We have listed below a few suggestions for how you can best support a friend or family member with their ADHD:
- Do your research and find out as much as you can about ADHD. Check out our other pages about ADHD to find out some more
- Often people with ADHD find concentration and completing tasks difficult, and where it might be tempting to step in and complete a task for your loved one, try to allow them space to do this. It can be demotivating for someone else to always be completing things for them
- Have a discussion about situations they find challenging so that you can avoid those situations/places/experiences, and you can provide more help with certain tasks
- Building a routine can be helpful in allowing your loved one to plan and work on concentration
