[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inattentive type. He's just switched meds. Is this hopeless? He does seem to have problems following through with planning dates and such. When we are together the chemistry is amazing, so hard to give that up! ;-)[/quote]

As a mother of a child with ADD, this breaks my heart. I get it must be hard for you. It still breaks my heart. I know how hard it is for my child. [/quote]

It can turn out OK. DC, who is 24, just got a diagnosis of ADD. This comes two years after DC graduated from a USNWR top 5 College, not summa cum laude, but with really good grades. DC works at a pretty intense policy consulting firm, and perhaps that’s not a great match, but DC is definitely viable in the work world. DC has already been in a few long-term (year or more) relationships that ended because of things like distance and people going to grad school, not the ADD. DC is applying to top grad schools. Also, we’re planning a family vacation, and DC is always thinking of details that didn’t occur to me, a NMSSF with no ADD (the ADD came from XDH). What makes the difference? DC has good self esteem, is quite bright, and has a fabulous work ethic. [/quote]

Is your son taking any medicine? Good at verbal communication and owning up to things? Good at picking up after himself and multitasking personal and professional life?  Does he want to get married and raise a family? Or just hyperfocus on career or studies?

A professor job is ideal for the high IQ ADD’er.  Startup situation might be too taxing. Writing policy papers in your 20s whilst single, NBD.[/quote]
