[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have him checked for ADHD. I should've at that age but didn't and kept thinking I'm not trying hard enough. I did manage to finish medical school on time and decent grades but years of insecurity took a toll.[/quote]
How is it that your ADHD became apparent in college but not K-12?

Also, CMU is hard. Even smart kids without ADHD can find it hard and stressful. Why must people jump to ADHD even when there is zero evidence of it.[/quote]

Not the PP but my DD was just diagnosed this summer and is a sophomore. The structure of HS was fine for her. She thrived and had straight As and got into a top school. Got to school as a freshman and the wheels came off. She could not organize herself. Missed classes, missed exams and assignments. Totally shocked at what was going on as she is a very high achieving kid. Ended the year with barely a 3.0 gpa. Made some big changes including her diagnosis and getting some accommodations and meds, and hoping things go better this year. So yes, it can and does happen to make it that far without it being diagnosed or even identified as a possible concern.[/quote]
was she in public HS? what cluster?[/quote]
Not sure why it matters, but LCPS. No one ever had any clue, perfect student, great recommendations, lots of friends, literally no reason to suspect any issues. [/quote]
