[quote=Anonymous]I found this super interesting as the wife of an adult newly diagnosed with ADHD for whom stimulants did nothing, and the mother of a teen son who misses the diagnostic criteria by a whisper. He would have qualified at 8, but not at 14. He definitely does not at 18, though he still can’t focus on tasks he finds boring and has the grades to show it. I on the other hand am a machine for boring tasks. It makes sense to me to see our troubles as a mismatch between biological make up and environment. Sometimes we can change the environment, but when we can’t we use medication to tweak the biology, at least temporarily.[/quote]
