[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! this is a different story than you are asking for, but I thought it might provide some big picture hope. My husband who is now 35 had severe inattentive ADHD at age 5/6. He couldn't follow two step directions (like put on your socks then your shoes). He also has dyslexia and dysgraphia. He had a long and challenging journey with K-12, was a very very late reader, and took Adderall his whole life until around age 21. However, he graduated from high school with honors, attended UVA, graduated with an economics major, and is very successful in the tech industry now. He's also always had a close group of friends! I know this isn't always the case but wanted to provide some hope. Hang in there (from a mom with a likely ADHD 4 year old <3 )[/quote]
