[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question. My child has ADHD and 2e. Given that at age 18 he will be acting at most like 14-15 years old in terms of judgment and making decisions, can we have a case for Guardianship ( like temporary for another 5-7 years?). I just think that by 30 with frontal lobe development he would eventually catch up with maturity. (That was case for my cousin, but it took long time.) However, I do not want to kill for my child all opportunities in the future in terms of employment. For example, will anybody have access to this info (in our technological world.) Can my child be denied work for government or security clearance because of it in the future?[/quote] Not a lawyer or an expert at all, but I would doubt what you describe (assuming it could be clinically verified) would be enough for guardianship. Keep in mind that actual 14-15 year old kids can be tried as adults in most jurisdictions if they commit a crime. Although I totally understand your fears. [/quote]
