^ I agree. However once you start your search for colleges, be sure to see what services they offer to ADHD students. Pay particular attention to their requirements as many require formal testing within the past 3 years. At a minimum, you should be tested (which might take a month or so) before you start college so you can begin to use their services immediately at the start of school.

Also, under these federal Civil Rights, you should know your Section 504 rights:

As a side note, I believe you can receive extended time on the SAT with a qualified diagnosis but I have never researched the rules.
