| think its hard for teens especially to feel "different" and the meds seem to reinforce that for them. I've noticed my daughter mature about her view of ADD and aud processing disorder and meds--now recognizes her differences but w/o feeling bad--she never wanted to have accomodations at school--(felt it was cheating) but recognizes how it actually is fair because she works harder and slower to process info and put her ideas together. She has been given extra time on her SAT/AP exams---and I am grateful for the acceptance of these learning differences. |
