Hi, Scripture123, and welcome to Psych Central! My son was diagnosed with ADD when he was in high school. He took meds, but when he went off to college he decided to go without them. He has learned some techniques to help him to work around his issues.

Since your mom is not supportive about having you tested, then is there a way you can get hold of a book that can give you some pointers? Or read here and maybe folks will tell you what they do, besides meds, to function well.

Please don't panic. You are the same guy with or without a label. When you get to be an adult (I assume at 18, like here in the U.S.), then you can get evaluated and if need be, treated.

My thoughts, anyway. What do you other folks think?
