 | Yolanda @zakitheo The child just needed a good talking too #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A1: MYTH: #ADHD is a lack of willpower; kids could focus if they really wanted to. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrSharonSaline: A1: MYTH: A1: MYTH: #ADHD is a lack of willpower; kids could focus if they really wanted to. #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A1: That they're lazy, they don't care, they're doing things on purpose, etc. #LDchat |
| Kathy Cafoncelli @KathyCaf @UnderstoodOrg I'm here. I'm an education student in a masters program. Learning about Twitter and learning disabilities--son with LD. #LDchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet A1) It's the result of bad parenting #LDchat |
 | Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #LDchat Q1: too many. I think the term ‘deficit’ in ADHD needs to be replaced. It leads to stereotypes that people with ADHD can’t pay attention in general instead of recognizing it as difficulty in shifting attention or focusing on demand if interest is not present. |
| Yolanda @zakitheo Yes my sister saying that about my son #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline MYTH: #ADHD is over-diagnosed and medication is over-prescribed. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @gabbysgroi Please don't forget to use #LDchat with all tweets so everyone can see. |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @wcvirgo Thanks for joining, Carmen! Don't forget to use #LDchat with all tweets. |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline MYTH: #ADHD is not real and is a recent psychiatric invention. #ldchat |
| Danielle Ward @DWardwritergirl Some common myths are that kids with ADHD are just lazy, and lack intelligence. Nothing could be further from the truth. #LDchat |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet A1) Myth - if you're not hyperactive, you don't have it #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg We're separating myth from fact to help you feel more confident in your #ADHD knowledge. #LDchat https://t.co/6WJ0FXvzzn |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A1. My favorite ADHD myths are: (1)Girls don't get ADHD (50-75% misdiagnosed). (2) You can outgrow ADHD? (Over 10 million adults have ADHD. (3) You can find the "right college. (Only 5% of students with ADHD graduate college). #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline MYTH: #ADHD is a lack of willpower; kids could focus if they really wanted to. #ldchat |
 | Patricia Lloyd,Ph.D. @adhdreframed RT @DrSharonSaline: MYTH: MYTH: #ADHD is over-diagnosed and medication is over-prescribed. #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline RT @UnderstoodOrg: We're separating myth from fact to help you feel more confident in your #ADHD knowledge. #LDchat https://t.co/6WJ0FXvzzn |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Excellent point! Not all people with #ADHD are hyperactive. That will come up in Q3. :) #LDchat |
| Danielle Ward @DWardwritergirl Another myth about ADHD? Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls. Its 50/50. #LDchat |
| Yolanda @zakitheo He doesn’t need no medication #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DWardwritergirl: Another myth about ADHD? Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than girls. Its 50/50. #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline @zakitheo sorry to hear that, but its unfortunately very common #ldchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @Ianatan_Duine Exactly! Kids w/ ADHD aren't just drifting around, they do have things they focus on and find engaging. These just aren't things that we want our children to be doing (doing crafts is way more engaging than making the bed!)#ldchat |
| Mabel Sanchez @macator_red #LDchat Thanks for the insight to follow the conversation! |
 | Sarah Geiss Wood, PhD @SarahGeissWood A1: Myth: ADHD and dyslexia can not co-occur. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Great thoughts so far! We'll discuss some in further detail with upcoming questions. So here's Q2... #ADHD #LDchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @echamblet Exactly! There's more than one type of ADHD! #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. Someone tells you, "#ADHD isn't real." What's your response? #LDchat https://t.co/cZy3LoZvgf |
| Patricia Lloyd,Ph.D. @adhdreframed RT @UnderstoodOrg: We're separating myth from fact to help you feel more confident in your #ADHD knowledge. #LDchat https://t.co/6WJ0FXvzzn |
 | assignmenthelp @assignmenthelp How to write a Narrative Essay? https://t.co/YoZrWug9Zk #iolchat #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A2: #ADHD is very real & biologically based. Hyperactivity, impulsivity & distraction seriously & persistently interferes w/ living. #ldchat |
 | Carmen Talledo @wcvirgo @DrSharonSaline That is the problem when medication is over-prescribed #LDChat |
| Yolanda @zakitheo I have not heard that but they my dismiss when I do talk about adhd #ldchat |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #LDchat Q2: other than BS, I’d explain that there has been historical recordings...just other terms used. Also, point out that untreated ADHD can be quite impairing in wrong-fit environments. |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A2: #ADHD executive functioning challenges: impulse control, planning, motivation, organization, working memory & emotional reg. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @SarahGeissWood Great point. It's not uncommon for #ADHD and #dyslexia to co-occur. https://t.co/8Pn8f6Ytlv #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrSharonSaline: A2: A2: #ADHD is very real & biologically based. Hyperactivity, impulsivity & distraction seriously & persistently interferes w/ living. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Arm yourself with the knowledge you'll need to help others understand #ADHD. #LDchat https://t.co/hQIiiG25dE |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine Q2 #LDchat also point out recent neurological research that identifies brain process and structure involved here. |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline I just heard at the CHADD conference from Russell Barkley's presentation that untreated ADHD can have long-term negative effects on people. #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A2: Some think #ADHD isn't real bcs it's diagnosed now more than before - because we understand it better & know how to assess it. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat |
| Danielle Ward @DWardwritergirl Q2 answer: Please don't listen to the skeptics. ADHD is real and affects millions of people in this country. Read the research! #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrSharonSaline: A2: A2: Some think #ADHD isn't real bcs it's diagnosed now more than before - because we understand it better & know how to assess it. #ldchat |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine @DrSharonSaline #ldchat also that these challenges can’t just be solved by willpower alone. |

| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Thanks to everyone for your great comments! Please don't forget to use #LDchat with all comments so everyone can see. |
| Carmen Talledo @wcvirgo @UnderstoodJennO @echamblet Interesting to know about type of ADHD #LDChat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2. Some of my education colleagues believe that ADHD isn't real. I ask "Are depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Autism real? If so, psychiatrists use DSM-5 to diagnose all of them? ADHD too. #LDchat |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @DrSharonSaline Exactly. With awareness, fewer people are falling through the cracks. It's not that people with learning differences are increasing, it that awareness of learning differences are increasing people being identified. #ldchat |
| Sarah Geiss Wood, PhD @SarahGeissWood A2: The presentation of ADHD may look very different in different environments. Thus, symptom severity varies depending on the environment. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @edielovesmath: @UnderstoodOrg A2. Some of my education colleagues believe that ADHD isn't real. I ask "Are depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Autism real? If so, psychiatrists use DSM-5 to diagnose all of them? ADHD too. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let's move onto Q3... #ADHD #LDchat |
 | Ken Jenks @kennethjenks RT @edielovesmath: @UnderstoodOrg A2. Some of my education colleagues believe that ADHD isn't real. I ask "Are depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Autism real? If so, psychiatrists use DSM-5 to diagnose all of them? ADHD too. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q3. Someone tells you, "All kids with #ADHD are hyperactive." How do you respond? #LDchat https://t.co/i2DBbX8nfy |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A3: Hyperactivity is one of the signs of ADHD but so are impulsivity and inattention. #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline I just heard Russell Barkley speak at the International CHADD and he stressed the importance of getting treatment for ADHD and how effective medication and therapy combined are for change. #ldchat |
 | Family Resource Center @frc_fcps RT @UnderstoodOrg: Watch this brief video to learn how #ADHD is diagnosed. #LDchat https://t.co/8ndoPmOVS0 |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine #LDchat I’ve noticed that some parents are skeptical or guarded when wondering if the DSM-5 criteria fit the diagnostic criteria for their children. But when told about ‘interest-based nervous system’ vs ‘importance-based nervous system’, they agree wholeheartedly |
| Elizabeth C. Hamblet @echamblet @UnderstoodOrg A3) In fact, the inattentive, non-hyperactive type of ADHD is the most common one. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @echamblet: @UnderstoodOrg A3) In fact, the inattentive, non-hyperactive type of ADHD is the most common one. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Thanks for that segue, @echamblet! :) Learn about #ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Presentation, sometimes referred to as #ADD. #LDchat https://t.co/6uzFZ8v71l |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A3: Hyperactivity is 1 ADHD sign & so are impulsivity & inattention, & often changes into inattention as kids age but some have both #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline I just heard Russell Barkley speak at the CHADD conference about the importance of getting treatment to improve lifetime outcome. #ldchat |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine Q3 #LDchat ahh, just point out that ‘ADD’ is part of the ADHD family. |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline @echamblet @UnderstoodOrg Yes, because over time hyperactivity shifts into inattention.#ldchat #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Find out the difference between #ADHD and #ADD. #LDchat https://t.co/CzODCtQwX8 |
| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO @wcvirgo @echamblet Sure, there are 3 types recognized in the DSM-5, and you can read more here: https://t.co/rGN1YFiilF #ldchat |

| Carmen Talledo @wcvirgo @UnderstoodJennO @echamblet Thanks #LDChat |
| Yolanda @zakitheo Hello #LDchat |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @UnderstoodOrg I think this TEDx talk will dispel the myth- by @HowtoADHD. https://t.co/k6rwg1RDMq #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A4: Boys tend to be more hyperactive, girls inattentive - which makes her type less obvious & therefore more difficult to diagnose. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg @BillWongOT @HowtoADHD We love @HowtoADHD! #ADHD #LDchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A3. Hyperactivity is not mandatory to be diagnosed with ADHD, particularly for teens and adults. Just 3 of each category: inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsive, smptoms of inattention. https://t.co/HDaZUync0d #LDchat |
| Patricia Lloyd,Ph.D. @adhdreframed RT @DrSharonSaline: A2: #ADHD executive functioning challenges: A2: #ADHD executive functioning challenges: impulse control, planning, motivation, organization, working memory & emotional reg. #ldchat |

 | Jini Nwando Etolue @jinietolue Can ASD also exhibit ADHD behaviors? Like hyperactivity?#LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #ADHD is equally common in girls and boys, but girls are underdiagnosed. Find out why. #LDchat https://t.co/Xz0JoAGbVv |
| Yolanda @zakitheo My cousin daughter shows signs of ADHD but #LDchat |
| Mabel Sanchez @macator_red How do we differentiate between a curious normal active kid and one with ADHD symptoms? #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A4: Boys vs girls diagnosis ratio is more than 2:1. 70% of kids w/ #ADHD have a LD, 34% of kids with ADHD have an anxiety disorder. #ldchat |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @UnderstoodOrg I have some female OT colleagues who also have ADHD. #ldchat |
| Jono 🇺🇦 @Ianatan_Duine Q4 #LDchat I would work hard to not roll my eyes and then calmly explain that for many girls their ADHD tend to be more under the radar than many boys with ADHD. Example: generally see more inattentiveness and less hyperactivity in girls |

| Jenn Osen-Foss @UnderstoodJennO A4: LOL. ADHD runs heavily in my family. More girls have been diagnosed than boys. Anecdotal, sure, but also true. It presents differently in girls, and w/ socialization norms different btwn girls and boys, it can be missed. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Any final thoughts before we wrap up for the week? #LDchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A4: If children are doing well at school or getting by w/o significant difficulties, their #ADHD may go unnoticed longer. #ldchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg RT @DrSharonSaline: A4: A4: If children are doing well at school or getting by w/o significant difficulties, their #ADHD may go unnoticed longer. #ldchat |
| Dr. Sharon Saline - Neurodiverse Psychologist @DrSharonSaline A4: These kids start to have more difficulty in MS when the organizational demands & personal responsibilities increase. #ldchat |
