People with ADHD break the law four to seven times more than individuals without ADHD.  This explains why many parents we talk to worry about their child getting into legal trouble.   In this episode, Attorney Kevin Astl explains how parents can talk to their children about law enforcement.  We also discuss the legal rights parents have when making treatment decisions for their children if both parents are not in agreement.
