[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60284, member: 1991"] Something to also prepare yourself for - don't expect it to be mild, OR fixable by diet. It may be, you could be lucky, but don't count on it. Do make sure you go in prepared for what you will be told. We tried diet. We tried all sorts of non-pharmacological help. We did find a couple of things made the boys worse, but nothing changed for our daughter. She did seem mild, but has still needed medications. Only a very low does, and it was almost magical, but medications she still needs, at 20. And as you've also been told - it may not even be ADHD. Although from your description, I agree it is more likely than not. But my daughter had the same weird 'memory problem' in maths, she would forget stuff I KNEW she had been taught and had been able to do. It is part of the ADD in that her brain simply wasn't passing this knowledge on to her long-term memory banks, and so when she tried to recall it, it was gone. It was in short-term and mid-term, but not long-term. On the medications - it went into long-term. She now coaches maths and did very well in it at school. Marg [/QUOTE]
