Question

Hey guys!!Sorry I haven't posted lately, just with gymnastics, and school it's hard.Anyway, I have a gymnastics meet this weekend.Kinda nervous, but not much.That night we are going to a Christmas parade.After the parade we are going back to the gym to have a team sleepover.The sleepover is really fun cause we get to make forts to sleep in.In the end, we stay up almost all night sneaking around.The owner of the gym usually sees us and yells "Sleep, or I'll cancel next year's sleepover".We're so used to it that it's actually funny.Yesterday I talked to my mom about getting diagnosed for ADHD.I have many of the symptoms, and I just suspect that I have ADHD.She said that she would inform herself, and then we would talk about it in January or something.Those of you who have been diagnosed for ADHD, could you tell me what it's like and what they do to you?Love you guys!!

Answer 1

I don't have a direct experience, and I don't mean to scare you, but when I was in public school the teachers were considering putting one of my brothers on a drug to make him calmer. From what I heard, it can affect your brain later on, but maybe they have better drugs from when I was in public school (2009 or so).

Yeah from what i hear the meds be like it’s been bad side effects from making you lose your appetite to making you wake up at 5:00 in the morning for no exact reason.

Answer 2

Uhh well the first thing they do is give a questionare to your teachers and parents, and if you show enough symptoms from all of your teachers/'rents, then they send you to another dude for different testing that can take up to 4 hours. At least, that's how it worked for me. The testing only lasts two years, tho, in Texas at least, so you have to retake it pretty often.
