I was diagnosed as a child back in the '60's, and all the kids around me were always teasing me that I was in the "retard" classes (I consistantly scored in the 120's on the I.Q. tests, but the teachers STILL put me in the "slow" classes for some reason) I had a REALLY low self-esteem (attempted suicide 4 times in a month) until I just learned not to listen to "them", I just listen to the people out there (they DO exist, believe it or not) who are supportive and helpful.

I've been off Ritalin since I was a teenager (I was "cured"??) but I think I'm still having problems with ADHD...one day at a time...
