Well...I was going to say...no, poor memory doesnt have to be a sign of ADD. Jamie was/is classic ADHD and he has a perfectly fine memory. Always has. He had problems with attention and impulsiveness when he was younger (and that danged hyperactivity!) but ritalin took care of that. Now he is able to maintain on his own.
He will never be a student even though I would love for him to get his bachelor's. He did graduate 3rd in the police academy though so he can learn now without the ritalin.
