[quote=Anonymous]I have a relative that had really bad ADHD as a child, through high school and into college. However, by the time he graduated college, it was like a miracle. You would never know he had ADHD -- he is very responsible, calm, etc. I was surprised to find he is no longer on the medication and appears (to me) to be totally asymptomatic. It gives me hope for my child. I am sure I would have qualified for an ADHD diagnosis as a child, combined type. I learned a lot of self coping mechanisms and did really well in school and my early years of my career (hyper focus was really helpful). Now I'm in my 40's and really really struggling with the demands of balancing growing kids and my career. I'm considering medication now, in middle age, because if I lose my keys once more I'm going to go crazy. Another couple of years and they'll be saying its Alzheimer's! [/quote]
