Advice please!

My tween ADHD child feels shame more deeply than most others. When we point out an error or anything similar they often get frustrated and start to respond rudely - snapping back, sarcasm etc. To an extent I think this response is a habit. Has anyone got advice for how we can break this habit?

Yes we do our best to lead by example and keep our frustration and reactions down, and I think we’re doing a pretty good job at it. I also try to praise her occasionally when her reaction is a bit better than usual, but that hasn’t had much of an effect - it actually makes her feel shame/defensive again as it reminds her that she’s still go to work on her reactions. We try to work on her having a growth mindset - that she’s always learning and mistakes etc show that you are trying. 

Note that she is medicated and the medication works incredibly well. We have tried increasing the dose, but it causes ongoing side effects. So the meds seem to be at a sweet spot now. We are very convinced that these are the right meds for her as they work on a bunch of her symptoms really well. Even her frustration is much better on the meds, just not 100%.

Note that she is m3d1cated and the m3di!cati0n works incredibly well. We have tried increasing the dose, but it causes ongoing side effects. So the m3d$ seem to be at a sweet spot now. We are very convinced that these are the right m3d$ for her as they work on a bunch of her $ympt0ms really well. Even her frustration is much better on the m3d$, just not 100%.

I'm trying to teach my child to touch type, but when I watch them do Typingclub.com
, they make a lot of errors and just backspace to fix them. That gives them 100% accuracy and allows them to progress to the game level. At the game level, they just press all the buttons really quickly and they pass like that. Is there another program that would prevent these issuses. Perhaps more than 2 errors in a sentence resets to to the beginning of the sentence?
