[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, but it does not have a significant impact on my life. My son has ADHD, and it has a significant impact on him, even though he is medicated. He is emotionally dysregulated, has difficulty socially because he acts younger than his peers, and cannot write coherently.[/quote] This is how I feel as well. I have ADHD-I, but it doesn't significantly impact me day to day so I don't consider myself special needs. However, my son has severe ADHD-C and even with medication has an IEP and is significantly impacted every day socially, academically, and with extracurricular activities. He cannot be given more than one-step directions and his current attention span is one to three minutes depending on whether something is a preferred activity. I consider him special needs. [/quote]
