[quote=Anonymous]XDH has ADHD and I have two kids. First kid with ADHD has a work ethic beyond belief. Also talent in a particular area, which combined with good grades got the kid into a top ivy. Kid did well in college but wasn’t Phi Beta Kappa or anything. Mostly kid ran a club, held a few great internships, and was nominated by Dean to a sought-after student rep position. Kid spent two years working and is now in a great grad school. Interestingly, kid didn’t have a diagnosis until after college, but when DC told college friends they said “we thought you had ADHD and thought you knew.” I’ve never been sure the second kid has ADHD—a two-day psych testing panel in high school said no. That kid is being medicated for it anyway. Severe depression and lack of work ethic are bigger problems and that kid is still struggling through college. Depression and ADHD do often come together, which argues for DC2 having ADHD as well, and it’s something to keep an eye out for. [/quote]
