It is not a disability, you are more than able to live a fully functional life without being medicated. IMO - its all psychological, once you prove to yourself that you can function without medication, you break the mental yoke.

Although i am oftened praised for being an creative and exceptional educator because óf the tardys and despite my request for reasonable accomodations under the Ada of 1990 and serveral request from my doctor i have been written up over again. I feel because i shared the fact with adminstrators that i have add i was targeted. You see others who have also run a few minutes late have not been reprimanded . I do realize the importance of being punctual but no matter what time i wake up i manage to find a way yo ruñ 5 to 10 minutes late. Still my students aré making notable gains ánd my evaluations aré good. I feel so helpless and i just want this add thing to go away. I think many people belive i am just creating excuses . I dont even belive the adminstrators at my school board percive it as a real disability. I often have a problem beliving it myself. Teachers aré asked to consider our students learning styles, disabilities etc when planning effective lessons. However the same curtesy is not afforded me.

Its so wrong to say that, a person is not going to be any greater than a gas attendant! My friend has ADHD and sometimes she does go off the rails a bit, but she is a vaery intelligent person!

It was a lot less well understood back then and he suffered for it. He was always labeled as a trouble maker and that affected the way he thought of himself. While it's obviously a struggle for you guys dealing with it now, take a bit of comfort from knowing it was harder in the past. At least you get understanding, my brother simply got a label which he ended taking on as his personality. He's now in jail, but it's not too late for this generation.
