Thats why its so important to have ADHD acknowledged in not just a childs life but adults who had it missed . as one understands how to work with it one can find the best and most satisfying work.

Mine is sutiable because it gives me the physical outlet and some movement focus . But just because I have the hyperactive need doesn't mean I and Reina have to clean houses or do gardening work . nor your son .

So Reina,
at least find a theraist who is very knowledgeable with Adult ADHD and hopefully a Med connection will happen . And get help with the behavioral side fr when you go to school . Do you know what feild you want to persue and the kind of employment you want?

I gave up onmyself . But know I may have a new door to walk through . The one I wish I had before I went to grad school.
Now I know what was behind the fears .

ABBys Dad,

My brain perked up when you mentioned clay pigieon shooting , that next to Golf were my fathers favorites .
He also struggled with food drinking and smoking and was a traveling salesman. He was a jokster , inventive and creative with wood working .
Lots of variety...

Herditary .....

I was held back from music because I was always dropping my activites I got bored.

so they didn't want to invest because of that . One of my favorite sports was basket ball

I would practice free throws for hours in our back yard basket ball court. very satisfyig to get "swishers".
