How to help an adult child with ADHD who is convinced he doesn't need help?
I have an adult child with ADHD (without hyperactivity) who has always been unwilling to accept he has ADHD, and refuses medication or counseling. He has college degree, is smart, but was fired from his last two jobs after less than a year and has no social life/friends.
Last time my husband brought up that maybe he could use some help, our son became angry and said he doesn't have ADHD (he was diagnosed by his pediatrician as a child after prompting from teachers). When I brought it up, he was willing to talk, but continued to insist he doesn't have ADHD.
I'm at a loss. He spends his free time alone unless we invite him to do something. He had a girlfriend for a while, but she broke up with him over a year ago. He is very kind and as so much to offer, and I don't know how to help him. Any suggestions?
