“I have ADHD and hold a high position within the space program and nobody there has the slightest problems with my taking meds every morning.”
Sounds like you are one of the few that actually have ADHD and are helped by meds.
There are alot of kids out there who are on meds who don’t actually have ADHD. Meds are often used for crowd control in public school. For most of those kids the meds are horrible and take away their incentive to do anything in life. I’ve seen it with a number of relatives and friends, it totally changes their personality.
Sounds like your kid should be on meds.
There is something about ADD that many people don’t understand. Don’t try and screw over an intelligent person with ADD and think you will get away with it. You will become their “project” and they won’t quit until they prevail. Lots of very successful people, including some of the best trial lawyers have ADD.
