[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429554, member: 11791"] ADHD is a life sentence - as in, you don't grow out of it. Good thing - because there's PLUS sides to ADHD as well as down-sides - and most of the downsides are worst during the school years...!! I'm ADHD too - on medications (didn't need until I was married with kids!). The ability to hyper-focus, look at things from different angles than other people, keep vast quantities of related details in my head (but not if its something that doesn't interest me, like history!)... One good book is "Driven to Distraction" - and there are several other related ones since, same authors - one or more of the authors are also ADHD... so, first-hand experience! I found it really helpful to understand the WHOLE picture better, not just the downsides. [/QUOTE]
