[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the pp with older kid having ADHD,  high IQ and hyper focus on school (due to his autism) does well at school without using extra time. His brain works so fast that I don't think it needs to rest. He could forgets where he puts his things a few minutes ago, but he could remember mostly what he has learned from school. I rarely see him study for anything even before test or exam. He is just a smart kid for now masking a lot of his weakness. For the younger kid suffering from mainly ADHD inattentive, she forgets mostly what she has learned from school. She is in daydreaming mode at school even though she is trying her best to pay attention. We are planning to put her on medication. Some pp says there is no med to help her to stay focus on learning, is it for real? [/quote]

My inattentive kid absolutely needs his meds, he was on Concerta for many years and now is on Focalin.

He was always the daydreamer, scatter brained, loses everything kid. Wicked smart always and was in AAP then honors then IB.

He took the PSAT without accommodations but with meds and got the NMF designation. For SAT, applied for extra time but was denied and still got a 1510.

He says meds help him focus. He also has OCD, anxiety, EF challenges and his diagnosis has been updated to AuDHD inattentive.
