[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stay clear if you are thinking of having kids. If you are not, then just enjoy him and his quirks. However, the problems with ADHD become exacerbated when you have a child and it is highly likely that the child will also have ADHD.[/quote]

Esp  worse for Ivy League, career successful ones  with ADHD. They will lie and gaslight about their slip ups and then get angry at you for pointing them out while suffering from them.  And this is regardless of their work ethic at the office or their high self esteem.  In fact, being told they’re so smart and perfect at school or work makes them utter narcissists to deal with on the home front. Don’t confuse high self esteem with self centeredness. A strong marriage means caring for others more than yourself.

What’s NPD? Untreated adhd (w therapy and meds) absolutely leads to personality disorders. A life time of covering up mistakes and keeping track of lies and arguing with others instead of solving problems will do that to them. [/quote]

Meh. I’m the pp with the dc with a recent diagnosis. XDH, who went to a good state school, has ADD and lied and covered up and got defensive and angry. DC, who went to a “top ivy,” is having honest conversations with boss about what tasks s/he’s better and worse at. And boss (who at the end of the day wants good products) is being sympathetic and helpful. [/quote]
