<p>I have ADHD, which wasn’t diagnosed until late (I’m a girl and when I was in elementary school they were only diagnosing it in kids who were running around destroying things). One thing that worked REALLY well was cognitive behavioral therapy…it’s not even a pill, it’s a kind of “process” that you go through with a psychologist. It totally worked for me…I got through HS, unmedicated, with good grades and got into top tier schools! </p>
<p>You can learn to deal with your inability to focus without medications…it’s REALLY hard but worth it :-)</p>
