ADHD Help

The coin flipping thing is really working. We don’t argue about who is in charge. Dr. C says we might need to time how long we do each activity so that we each get equal time, but I don’t have a watch. Maybe we will just take turns so that I get to decide every other recess and he gets to decide to the other recesses.
About all the homework, Dr. C said to talk to my parents so that they could talk to my teacher. He said that sometimes children with ADHD only have to do enough work to show that they understand the lesson and don’t have to do as much homework as other kids. This is because it takes us so much longer. He said that it was up to my parents and the teacher. I sure hope that they will all agree. It sounds like a great plan to me!
I got to go to two birthday parties this weekend and sing happy birthday to the birthday girls. One of the girls was 70 and one was 90. Do I still get to call them girls when they are that old? I don’t know. It was a lot of fun and everybody liked my songs.

I did what Dr. C said. I found a kid who was sitting alone at recess. He did not look very happy. I went up to him and asked him if he wanted to play, and he said yes. It turned out that he has ADHD just like me. It was fun to play together. We did have one problem. I wanted to tell him what to do and he wanted to tell me what to do. I told Dr. C, and he said that next time we should flip a coin to decide what to do next. He said we could also just flip a coin to decide who gets to decide first and then just take turns deciding. I don’t know if this will work but I will try it. It seems like I have too much homework. I need to ask Dr C what to do about all that homework.

School seems to be going ok except I don’t have any friends. Nobody likes me but at least I‘m not getting bullied. Dr. C says that it is important for everybody to have at least one friend. He said that I should look around my class for other kids who don’t seem to have a lot of friends. Then I could try to be their friend. He also said that we are going to be working with families to help the children get better at having a friend in their own family and to having friends at school. I’m gonna see if I can find someone who wants a friend like I do so that I can have somebody to play with at recess.
