[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid, a TJ graduate who attends an elite college without any test prep or college counseling, was diagnosed with ADHD in college. Their high IQ masked their executive function deficits all along. They never need extra time for any tests, in fact, they think so fast that they always finish tests earlier than others. They struggled with big projects or paper that need planning and execution over several weeks or months. ADHD meds helped tremendously. It’s such a relief to get diagnosed now that they understand why they are different from other students. [/quote]

What would we do without amphetamines?  Thank goodness for these drugs.[/quote]

They struggled quietly in college for a long time until they were hospitalized for MDD. I wish we knew ADHD earlier so they didn’t have to suffer so much. Good thing is they finally got diagnosed and are on recovery with meds annd therapies . All A’s so far and well on their way to law school. [/quote]
