[quote=Anonymous] It depends on your child's native intelligence, the work ethic he will develop, his specific symptoms and his ability to choose a job (and a spouse) that will play to his strengths and accept his weaknesses. Take my husband - ADHD and Asperger's, never medicated, MD/PhD, been fired from many posts, and can only function in public research labs that agree to trade high productivity for deep thinking and troubleshooting. I joke that with meds he could have won a Nobel :-) My middle schooler, went from failing/no friends to getting top grades/ making friends when medicated. He's shaping up to be a scientist just like DH, slow but thoughtful. I believe that success will come with developing self-awareness and planning the educational and career path deliberately.
