[quote=Anonymous]We are a family that wished we knew earlier (no dx until age 16). ADHD and the preteen/teen years are hard - not just because of ADHD but the impulsiveness, depression and anxiety that often come along with it. Medication for school has made a lot of difference in our ADHD combo kid and also allowed him to perform closer to his super high IQ. He was extremely frustrated to be struggling so much with school when he knew he was smart (AAP etc but we'd never done testing/it was never recommended). Yes we worry about the LT effects but honestly, he would have crashed and burned long before whatever effects people here are worried about happened. [/quote]
