My son, 22 has ADHD. As he was growing up, he used the outdoors - fishing, hiking to help the ADHD, and he still does.

He is a terrific person and keeps a full time job - it's a job that has him moving most of he time.

I just don't want anyone to think that I don't accept him as is - because I do.

I've very concerned because he doesn't manage money at all and I don't know if I should be "butting in" or leaving him alone. He not only spends all the money he has but goes in debt and "borrows" from me. He went thru a settlement check of $12,000 in about 6 months.

So what do you think I should do? He works so hard, it breaks my heart that he doesn't have any savings or even a good car. If I leave him alone (like I've been doing) will it eventually straighten out by it's self? I can only imagine the challenges that a person with ADHD faces.

I just feel scared for him. So if you have any advice on what action/inaction I should do, I would appreciate it.

He doens't want to go the medicine route nor therapy to help him learn coping skills.

Thanks.....
