When you inherit ADHD genes, you’re also more likely to inherit genes for anxiety disorders at the same time. You also can have “secondary” anxiety – you're a happy kid, but get in trouble at school for not completing work or talking out in class, & anxiety results. #ldchat https://t.co/6qUj9fmjpT

@StephanieSarkis @DWardwritergirl Q3: When you know in your heart that you do not have the tools necessary to ease your child's pain. Modeling how to ask for help is also important for kids to learn. Show them we all need help at diff times in our lives. There's no stigma in knowing when to ask. #ldchat
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD @StephanieSarkis
@angela_lange25 Yes, there's a lot of stimuli that the ADHD brain takes in all at once...and it is difficult to filter all of it out, leading to sensory overstimulation and anxiety. #ldchat https://t.co/CUi2hehUWs

A3 I believe all people that are not #neurotypical are at high risk for #anxiety regardless of the dx (#ADHD #ASD #FASD #TS etc) because the world at large is constantly telling them their natural impulses are wrong #ldchat

@TMAndrews2006 Yes, accommodations are very helpful for students with ADHD, LDs, and anxiety. Extended time on tests and testing in a separate & quiet location is one of the most helpful, along with never having recess taken away - for any reason. #ldchat https://t.co/I09skyakeB

@UnderstoodOrg A1: With middle school students, they often get frustrated with their work very quickly and shut down, or they avoid classes throughout the day. #ldchat

@StephanieSarkis "Never removing recess for any reason" Boy are you preaching to the choir on that one!! Movement and exercise are huge for stress reduction - never have understood how limiting it is seen as beneficial!! #LDchat

@TMAndrews2006 I have that added to all of my client's 504 and IEP plans - recess is never taken away, whether it is due to classroom behavior, not completing classwork, or standardized testing. Playground is where we learn & practice social skills, and burn energy. #ldchat https://t.co/pSM1rxzWvZ
