[QUOTE="oceans, post: 19360, member: 2687"] I have a friend who's easy child did not get good grades. When they were in HS, they were taken in for an evaluation and diagnosed ADD. The medications helped to bring up the grades, and they were able to get accepted to college. My easy child did well up until HS and it became a real struggle for him because he had no attention span. He said that he was pretty certain that he had ADD, but did not want any medications. He was afraid because of watching the medication roller coaster difficult child has been on the past 6 years. I did not push it as he was passing and got accepted to college. He is very smart and probably could get honor roll with the medications, but he is almost 18 and I decided that it was his choice. These things are sometimes missed in very bright kids, until the work gets excessively difficult. If it were my easy child, I would probably bring her in for an evaluation. [/QUOTE]
