Yeah, thanks, this morning I just skim read this post but got interested in the avoidance types and had the realisation I got 6/6 or 7/7 diagnostic criteria on avoidant personality disorder which has totally passed my radar until now. I feel like I don't have to wrestle in the dark anymore having a better comprehension of how all the symptoms are connected.

This was so helpful and I had been thinking about counselling....I’m fortunate to have access to counselling at work, and after reading that, I have decided I will ask for counselling sessions

Thank you 😊

You recently sent me the full set of ADHD Traits flash-cards. I cannot recommend them enough 😃

As well as for me & my 20 year old daughter, I am using them with my secondary age students and would love it if they could be adapted for the teenage ADHD’er, as if it isn’t hard enough just being a teenager!! It’s been so good for them to see & understand their own ADHD....they are ADHD adults of the future.

Thank you for your help and I wish you all the success with this brilliant resource

Aww thanks so much Kirsti! And I’m so glad you’re going to try out counselling, it was a big step for me but I learned a lot about myself.

So glad you find the ADHD flashcards helpful, I do get asked to make another set for kids/teens but my main worry is that many parents won’t be as understanding as you. There’s still a lot of stigma around ADHD sadly but you have given me good for thought :)

Have an amazing week
