[quote=Anonymous]Our DD has tested slightly above average intelligence (110 FSIQ) with very low (20% tile) processing speed and executive function deficits. ADHD inattentive, also some above average levels of anxiety. She wasn't tested until high school when we finally realized it wasn't just about her being a reluctant reader or not applying herself. She's 16 now and has been taking Adderall XR 20 mg daily, and we have a 504 plan for her that allows her extended time on tests. It is helping a lot; her grades have gone from C/D's to B/C's and a few As. Recently she took up guitar on her own and is doing really well with it -- all self-directed other than a few lessons we gave her at the start.

I'm not sure what it will be like for her in college. We've started looking at options, and the consultant we've hired assures us there's a place for her in a college suited to her strengths. Anyway, just wanted to say that you have many years until college and lots might change between now and then, especially since you have early intervention on your side. Best of luck![/quote]
