[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're my parents, right away. And yes, I did walk to school, and did once have to call (and pay for) a taxi. ADHD was never an excuse - it just meant I had to work harder to get things done. As an adult, I had to write down tasks I was assigned on post-its and slap them on the corresponding papers if there were any. "Fax to Jen by 4pm 3/17." "Email Ken to confirm registration to Regional XYZ meeting." "Call Ben at Cipriani for reservation - 5 at 7pm 3/20." I had to stay 10 minutes late each day to write out tomorrow's to-do list. To this day, 30 years into my career, I have a lot of reminders in my Outlook calendar. [/quote] Sounds like by not saving you from yourself as a child, your parents forced you to develop the skills to manage your ADHD.[/quote] What bullshite. People with executive functioning issues and adhd often can't "manage" their disabilities. You are actually denying the kid has a disability. [/quote]
