[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest graduates from college in the spring. He is ADHD and has been medicated since fifth grade. He used accommodations in elementary, middle and his first year of high school. We strongly encouraged him not to accept any accommodations after that. He had to work hard, but he got into a great school and is graduating with honors in a few months. I hate to be blunt, but no one in the real world will care about his ADHD. I wanted him to learn to manage without accommodations in college so that someday he could be successful in a career where no one really cared about his ADHD.[/quote] I agree with this post, as an ADD adult diagnosed way past college, I must say that the ability to cope, channel the hyper focus and understand and manage your strengths and weaknesses is he key to a happy and successful life and career.
