[quote=Anonymous]The ADHD brain takes years longer to mature compared to the average brain. If you don’t help him, you will close doors for him for ever. If you help him now, he will get through this difficult time and become more functional than he is now as an adult. Your relationship will also be better! And if you really want to help him, you must medicate him - this is the only way that enough brain function will be liberated to learn study skills and organization, so that he can apply them fully in college where you won’t be there to help him! Depending on the severity of his ADHD, he may only need pharmacological treatment for a few years. It is downright abusive to refuse organizational help, and treatment od some form, either behavioral or medical, to a patient with ADHD. It’s neglect that will have lifelong consequences. [/quote]
