No Kids with ADHD but I am. Have been a long time and also Learning Disabled in the area of dyslexia and fine motor, long and short term memory.
I went on to graduate College and take some University level courses.
Most of us have IQ's that are up there, so life is frustrating as we know a ton but we just sometimes can not get it out so it makes sense and others can understand us.
I understand why we sometimes come across as having short temper or emotional,... try someone telling you that you are wrong when you know it and you can pull the info but darn it you can not get it out the mouth or figures and spelled it right and string a sentence together so it can be understood.
We pack a disability that is unseen and there for we are not given the understanding that we sometimes need or for people to take things a wee little slower so we can process the info coming in or going out.
I was one of the first kids that was tested many many many years ago and had a Mom that was willing to make the system work for her kids all 4 of us learning disabled and three of us ADHD.
