[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525716, member: 11791"] The doctor might be partly right on THIS part. ADHDers can learn to focus, and learn to manage distraction, at least to some extent (some of us need a medications-boost to do this, others don't). But... it comes at an expense.... realy burns up brain-power. Which, I'm guessing, is part of where J's rages and such come from. He's already put SO much effort into holding it all together, doing what is expected, and then, at some point, his "tank" is empty, and life hasn't "shut down yet, and so... transition points and minor differences of "opinion" (i.e. J vs. Mom) become huge and ugly. This isn't the "real" J. It's the "burned out" J? In which case... what does he need so that he doesn't have to spend every ounce of effort on a daily basis? [/QUOTE]
