Re: ADHD and late diagnosis
I am 37 and I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and started concerta. It is a miracle drug for me and it saved my life in many ways. It has such a strong effect on keeping me on track and focused that Mrs. Utah can notice immediately if I forget to take it.
I was able to do okay in school and I got through an MBA. I was also very successful in my career although I worked a lot standing up.
So, the answer to your question is yes, you can have ADHD and do well in school because you learn to cope. In fact, you can end up learning ways of thinking that give you huge advantages over non ADHD people.
