Children with ADHD and Autism often struggle with negative and judgmental thoughts when comparing their abilities to their peers. Yoga can help increase self-esteem and confidence. In addition, yoga incorporated with meditation and mindfulness can boost self-esteem and lower stress levels. While engaging in various balance poses, children are able to increase their attention and focus. Yoga has been shown to help improve symptoms of ADHD, Autism by increasing dopamine levels and strengthening the prefrontal cortex. In group settings, yoga can also increase social skills. This is a great way to incorporate mind and body approaches to improving symptoms of ADHD and Autism.

You wonder if this is typical, if other kids do the same. Your little one just doesn't seem as social as the other kids. It feels like they already have no friends. They play alone, or right next to another child, but they never interact. Or maybe, your child seems bossy. They are hitting, pushing, biting, it's a mess. You feel like they might get kicked out of preschool- or they already have been. You want a play group that can teach them to play nice and be nice.

Your child knows they need support, but they’re convinced so many things are wrong with them. They are anxious about school, friends, making decisions, and pretty much anything and everything. All this anxiety keeps them from enjoying just being a kid. They are always comparing themselves to others, saying they aren’t good enough or that they’re a failure. They put so much pressure on themselves to just fit in! You know they need a group setting to realize that other kids are just like them and this group will offer that.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
