Self Diagnosis Talk: Raise your had if you've got ADD or Dyslexia

My problem is I have a hard time staying focused on things that don't interest me. Looking back, someone should have said tough [censored] welcome to the real world. However, my mother is a psychologist and had one of her partners perscribe me ritalin. I can safely say I would not have graduated college without it.

On one hand you say you should have been told to suck it up and just do it... on the other, you say the you needed pharmaceutical help to accomplish what many people are able to without such help.

If you really did need ritalin to be able to graduate from college, it seems to me it's an over-simplification (and incorrect) to suggest you should have just been told to deal with the real world. In the 'real world' most people don't have that much trouble focusing enough to graduate from college.
