[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is the same, but we've weaned him off medication because of his career goals. 6 a.m. workouts, plus an executive functioning/ADHD coach, both help (not as much as medication). He can still get mostly As, though he probably works harder than most kids. [/quote] NP - Curious about the career goals, is he interested in a service academy or military? DS is 12 and medicated and dreams of a service academy. We are so torn on what to do. [/quote] If on medication after a certain age, it is disqualifying. Other people's lives depend on service members' ability to focus and act promptly. Medicine is not always available in forward deployed environments. That said, the ADHD medicine is not usually disqualifying for a security clearance or for civil service jobs working for a military service or for the IC. [/quote]
