[quote=Anonymous]Different perspective here. Mother of a middle of the class GPA wise TJ with ADHD. He will survive TJ. It has taken supports. Nothing extreme at the school level, but an awesome guidance counselor and good communication with teachers. The freshman adjustment was very tough. And the adjustment to each new school year is tough. Nice, smart, kind, interesting kid (but I am biased). He is going to succeed or fail in college without parental supports based on whether we find a good environment for him. And a college that would look at him and all he has done with a learning disability that has been documented all over the place since kindergarten and say they are not interested because of ADHD is going to be a bad fit. Getting into Stanford by masking ADHD doesn’t help him if he can’t succeed there. I want a college that wants my kid. My real kid. Not some glossy, perfectly packaged version of him. [/quote]
