[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older adhd kid was diagnosed since age 4. He is not on medication, and he has not used any academic accomdation yet because he has high IQ to get him all As in school. He has high anxiety and other disabilities. IEP keeps his accommodation on IEP plan just in case one day he uses it. He is putting in a lot of effort to stay focus at school and his teacher knows that he tries really hard at school. He sometimes tears up at school due to his high anxiety to demand himself to be a perfectionist. He pushes himself too much.

My younger adhd kid has academic accommodation as well which she has not used yet. She is on the border of failing classes. The school teacher has been encouraging her to use accomondation but she finds giving her more time is not useful because she cannot stay focus and she struggles in answering questions (learning disability). If she can graduate high school and go to community College, I would be really really happy for her. We will try med soon on her. [/quote]

To add, the younger kid was diagnosed adhd at age 5. Both have anxiety and considered high functioning. [/quote]
