[QUOTE="rachelfran, post: 143743, member: 3955"] Thanks for the comments here. We've been told that its not uncommon for very smart kids to be able to hide their ADD symptoms when they are younger because school is easy for them and requires little organizational skill.... It may appear to come on suddenly in high school & even college since so much more is expected... Regardless, last nite we had a difficult situation- she was out and though we had arranged to pick her up at a particular time.. she told my husband - through tears that she wasn't ready to leave and would take a car service home. This was not acceptable and took 45minutes of coaxing to get her to the car. She eventually calmed down but had scratched her own face! (she has a history of cutting) I'm so exhasperated --- I dont know what to do with this kid [/QUOTE]
