[QUOTE="jetsam, post: 698025, member: 20689"] Ok, i can definitely attest to high intelligence not equating with common sense! My son (diagnosed with adhd at a very young age) has always been very bright. TO the tune of being invited by johns hopkins university in 7th grade to take the SAT's. Yet he has the common sense of a flea...maybe. on the second point he does the exact same thing..going ballistic , then the next day acting as if nothing ever happened...no remorse, no apology etc. But I personally feel its selective amnesia. He knows what he did and how he acted he just doesn't want attention brought to it.(probably because he knows he acted like an ass!) anyway dragged him to dr's as a child and never any other diagnosis other than add. I don't buy it, never did. there has to be some other mental illness he has been struggling with . anyway, I get your frustration. hang in there [/QUOTE]
