[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 129721, member: 3208"] I'm interested in the responses to this thread as my easy child son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was about 20 yrs old. His room (he is living at our house for now) is atrocious--clothing, papers, trash, important things like money, just lying all over the place. He used to lose his keys, wallet, etc. almost on a daily basis and would go around swearing and sighing while he looked for them. Any car he has is a total trash bin. He is very disorganized and cannot pay bills on time. He drives me crazy. I do feel bad though that we didn't realize anything out of the ordinary was wrong with him in high school and college. He had always been a very good student til he hit 10th grade. He said everyone told him he just wasn't trying and wasn't working up to his ability, etc. He said he believed them and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He felt really bad about himself. Same with college--he had so much trouble concentrating and he said he would try to go to the library but still had racing thoughts that prevented him from concentrating. He didn't know why his friends could do well but he had to work so hard just to pass. He's a really smart guy, I feel bad when I think of it. Thanks, Jane [/QUOTE]
