How old are you all? I'm 14.

I am 23, and still struggle with ADHD!

Me too. Even when I was a baby I could never sleep a lot.

Not sure how I was when I was a baby.

being with my rabbit usually helps me. I’m a little bit of a reader myself. I have to be in the right mood in order to read, though. I like reading the classics, like Alice in Wonderland and Robin Hood.

My family member with ADHD also likes being with a rabbit! Being with a soft animal seems to help, especially when that family member is upset.

You were right. Thank you!

No problem! I’m glad you didn’t give up on it!

My mum always told me I never slept and used to climb out of my crib and crawl all over

Although I don’t care about being right or anything, just helping people

That's just silly.

Curious how the dog helps? Does she do anything specific or she’s just a comfort or?

It is a small white dog, and my family member holds the dog and cuddles with it. The dog will allow my family member to hold, pet, cuddle with and turn over the dog.
I guess you could say that the dog comforts and helps to calm down my family member.
