    Hello, I appreciate learning how far the topics of ADHD and autism have changed and evolved since first hearing about them in the 1980’s…..
    Your writings are very instructive, and you are to be commended for such diligent research…..I found much up-to-date information here for families and all others who are affected by these disorders. Thank you for such a professional presentation, as always!

    During my career as teacher, I had several children with autism and (or) ADHD. Parents and teachers called them problemchildren. Wrong: those children have a problem and for every problem we can look for a solution. Sometimes a little tip can make a big difference! Don’t put a child with autism in the middle of a group, give them a place on the side. Give a child with ADHA a time out wheen necessary and let it run during 5 minutes…There are a lot of tips who can help these children before we start with medication.
    We can not heal these problems but God can do it when we are praying with a right heart ❤️ .

      Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences. It’s crucial to recognize that every child has unique needs and potential. Your valuable suggestions for creating supportive environments align well with current best practices for children with autism and ADHD. Individualized support, structured environments, flexible seating, breaks for movement, positive reinforcement, collaboration with parents, and mindfulness techniques are all effective strategies and can truly make a difference.
      It’s heartening to see your commitment to finding solutions and advocating for understanding and compassion! You were a great teacher to your students.

      Gracias por compartir tus ideas y experiencias. Es crucial reconocer que cada niño tiene necesidades y potenciales únicos. Tus valiosas sugerencias para crear entornos de apoyo se alinean bien con las mejores prácticas actuales para niños con autismo y TDAH. El apoyo individualizado, los entornos estructurados, la flexibilidad en el asiento, los descansos para el movimiento, el refuerzo positivo, la colaboración con los padres y las técnicas de atención plena son estrategias efectivas que realmente pueden marcar la diferencia. Es alentador ver tu compromiso para encontrar soluciones y abogar por la comprensión y la compasión. Fuiste una gran maestra para tus estudiantes.
