I have two kids with ADHD. Son diagnosed in 2003 at age 7 with hyperactivity, decreased focus, impulsivity, poor social skills and issues with math and writing. Daughter was diagnosed in 4th grade with inattentive type. She struggled with using time well, missing instructions and keeping assignments straight. He struggled terribly in school even with 504 but she excelled with just 504. I worked with them alot, kept in touch with teachers, pushed where needed ( both kids and the schools) and both got into college with scholarships. Surprisingly to us, son did great in college keeping scholarships, earning more and getting a double degree in 4 years. He still struggles socially but has a good job and supports himself. Daughter did well in college overall but struggled more than in HS with many things....self-esteem, became more introverted and less confidant and became less ambitious. She graduated with honors but still lives at home and struggles to move fully into adulthood and independency. Uncertain as to what she wants to do in life. Currently trying to help both navigate insurance now that they are not on ours and costs of meds.
