    Just because you see all the jokes don’t assume he’s doomed. If he’s still a kid he has even more time to learn to manage his adhd better.

    Be patient with him and help him figure out how to deal with stuff in a way that works for him. And help him learn how to handle emotions.

    Plenty of people with adhd can still live good lives, even if they can struggle with some stuff.

      ADHD often also comes with the ability to seek and find solutions. It’s just that someone else usually must execute these solutions. Many very productive people throughout history likely had/have ADHD.
