ADHD, Empathy, And "Raising a Narcissist"

Gina Pera's Adult ADHD Roller Coaster

• ADHD symptoms can interfere with innate empathy—not to mention empathic actions.
• When Taylor J had children, she vowed not to be like her parents: narcissistic.
• She and her husband—both late-diagnosed—had tried to "teach empathy" to their oldest child, but the lessons never took. Or did they? Listen and find out!
• In the discussion around "drugging children", what gets lost? Science and compassion.
• You can read the post here: ADHD and Lacking Empathy: Was I Raising A Narcissist?

In addition to elevating lives, my goal is elevating the standard of care, with therapy and prescribing. We just cannot accept the standard slap-dash approach one day longer.
As for online "research," that is just too risky—and scattershot. Not everyone who claims ADHD expertise has it. Seriously, this is your life. For 20 years, I've believed that you deserve better—and I work hard to bring it to you.
