[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 684565, member: 1963"] husband could function without Ritalin, but he had a very rigid way of doing so. EVERYTHING was written down; to the point that he had invented his own "shorthand". When he died, I found about 30 pocket notebooks full of gobbledegook and tiny, cramped handwriting. Along with being rigid, he had specific routines for doing things that he had to follow exactly, or he'd get lost in the middle. Docs suspected he was autistic for a bit, but in actuality all this was a learned mechanism for coping with a very scattered brain and lousy executive function. It got to the point where he would ask me,"Hon, do ya think I need to take a pill for this?" He was extremely intelligent, which helped. And between his coping mechanisms and the medication, was able to hold down work as a chef first, and then in IT, in civilian life. The hyperness? We just sort of put up with it. I'd known him since I was fifteen, and he'd just always been like that. [/QUOTE]
