The misinformation parents received when their child is diagnosed with ADHD — Ryan Wexelblatt (ADH Dude)

[Imagine this scenario]

Person 1: My 11 year son was recently diagnosed with diabetes.

Person 2: Well don’t put him on insulin, try natural remedies first.

Person 3: Yes, insulin can stunt his growth and take away his personality.

Person 4: Yes, don’t drug him, that’s wrong.

Person 2: And he should decide whether he takes medicine or not, it’s his body.

This conversation seems asinine doesn’t it? Yet when you replace “diabetes” with “ADHD”, and “insulin” with “ADHD medication”, it becomes a very common conversation you will see on a daily basis in Facebook parent groups or ADHD groups.

I’m creating the ADHD Dude membership site because I want families to have an affordable way to obtain easily accessible information to help their family. I want families to have strategies they can start implementing immediately.

I want families to stop being misled by misinformation. I want them to stop wasting their time and money on ineffective treatments. I’m tired of hearing about this on a weekly basis.

The information contained in the membership site is not a “one size fits all’ approach. It’s specifically designed for parents of kids with ADHD.

Over the years I’ve made a tremendous time and financial investment learning all I could. This has been an uncharted journey. I had no “roadmap” to follow, all I knew was that I wasn’t getting what I needed from my own field, so I had to think outside the box. I had to adapt strategies I learned, which only happened through much trial and error.

I wish I would have started this undertaking years ago but the truth is I don’t know how to market myself. I’m not a business person, thus everything I’ve learned was only being shared with the families who came to my office. I’m excited to share this with the world, I hope it will be a “game changer” in the ADHD field.
