I probably would have benefitted from Ritalin, actually. I've gotten much better at concentrating over the years, just because my mind has matured. But I almost flunked 10th grade, I made an F in several of my classes. I dropped out of high school my senior year. I flunked out of college three times. When my brain chemistry normalized, I was 25 years old. I went back and made almost all A's in college, graduated top 25% from Tulane Law School, and got my Master of Law degree with a 3.66 average. And it has nothing to do with my IQ, my SAT was 1446 and I am eligible for MENSA. I just couldn't concentrate.

I take an anti-depressant now, and that has made a great deal of difference in my life.

<<If you read my other postings on this subject, you see that I do say that some of the students labeled with A.D.D. do have real disabilities.>>

What's sad is many of the schools want all their students on the drugs because they are easier to control.
