CHADD, which stands for Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a national resource center for everyone who suffers from this problem. Their website offers information for teens and their caregivers about how ADHD affects teens differently than children or adults. CHADD understands that there are normal issues of growing up which are very different from the unique problems caused by ADHD and teens may find comfort in knowing this. Additional resources can be found on their site, including phone numbers and ways to connect with others suffering from ADHD.
