[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question.
My child has ADHD and 2e. Given that at age 18 he will be acting at most like 14-15 years old in terms of judgment and making decisions, can we have a case for Guardianship ( like temporary for another 5-7 years?).
I just think that by 30 with frontal lobe development he would eventually catch up with maturity. (That was case for my cousin, but it took long time.)
However, I do not want to kill for my child all opportunities in the future in terms of employment.
For example, will anybody have access to this info (in our technological world.)
[b]Can my child be denied work for government or security clearance because of it in the future?[/b][/quote]
He will have to disclose his mental condition and any medication taken for it. No one will tell you whether this will prevent him from having a clearance.

I've seen some very mentally unstable people in gov't jobs. They didn't last, but I'm not sure what exactly led to their dismissal.[/quote]
