They are rude to adults and I feel humiliated
ADHD child behaviour
The rudeness was not calculated. ADHD verbal impulsivity means the thought became the spoken word before the social filter could engage, so the output ran faster than the assessment. Do not correct it in the moment, in front of the adult. Address it afterwards, and give the replacement, not just the criticism: 'The way that came across sounded rude. Next time, try saying it like this.'
What to do right now
They said the thing, or used the tone, and you are mortified. The rudeness was not calculated. ADHD verbal impulsivity means the thought became the spoken word before the social filter could engage. Address it after, not during. 'The way you spoke to that person came across as rude. I know you did not mean it that way. Next time, try this instead.' Give them the replacement, not just the correction.
