My son Andy learned to ride a 2 wheeled bike when he was 3 years old.
By the time he was 5, riding a bike was old news. Andy needed a way to make it fun again. I caught him one day riding down the sidewalk on his bike with his eyes closed.
Like most ADDers, Andy likes taking risks. If it gets his heart beating and his adrenaline going, he is all about it. That’s why he’s attracted to things like snowboarding and hockey. Right now he’s out rollerblading at a skating rink with a female roller derby team. I don’t want to think about that.
Now I know there are some of you who are thinking “I’m no risk taker” or “my child is not a risk taker”.
I think you’re wrong.
Taking risks and getting the adrenaline going isn’t just about putting yourself in dangerous situations. It’s about little things too.
Delaying a homework assignment or project until the last minute and then rushing to finish it on time is certainly taking a risk. Climbing to the top of the jungle gym might be considered risky, or skateboarding or snowboarding or even certain behaviors.
My daughter Sarah is not the kind of person anyone would consider a risk taker, but she’s been asked to leave 2 bookstores for purposely shelving books in inappropriate places. And no, I’m not proud of it.
Risk taking is part of ADHD, like it or not. Sometimes it can manifest in dangerous behavior, sometimes in just plain dumb behavior, and sometimes in minor annoyance kinds of things like leaving things to the last minute.
Recognize that much of it is triggered by boredom – remember Andy and his bike – and you might be able to head some of it off before it starts.
Otherwise you might find your child skating with a bunch of roller derby queens. 
Hello. I enjoyed “Risk Taking and ADHD |”. It was fine. Visit my blog sometime.

Brilliant post! The problem with these types of calls is not down to the agents. It is often because of how they run their telephony system.
