not a clue - charts are a waste of time for us and i get angry everytime they are mentioned. First of all, even if I am able to sit down and make one - or even just download one from another ADHD website, my son rips them up or hides them or just ig…

my son makes friends easily and then clowns around with them, sometimes at the wrong times. we are still working on that stuff. he tends to distract other kids in the class and that sort of thing. it's been tough because teachers just think he is a troublemaker instead of seeing that he is just trying to make people laugh and fit in.
