ADHD and bullying

Kids and adults with ADHD are more likely to be bullied than
their peers. So in honor of National Bullying Prevention Month
this October, we’re doing a special episode to shed light on the
problem. Psychologist and Understood expert Dr. Andy Kahn — who
has ADHD himself — answers Laura’s questions on ADHD and
bullying. What behaviors make kids with ADHD targets for
bullying? Are people with ADHD more likely to bully others? What
can we do about it?  


You’ll also hear bullying stories from a number of ADHD
Aha! guests — some you’ve heard in previous episodes, and
some you haven’t.
