> Hi there - I read your post with interest, because my 16-yr-old son is ADD. I never know, when dealing with him whether he's acting (or NOT acting) like he does (or doesn't) because of ADD or because he's being lazy, irresponsible, etc.
Kath - boy you said everything that I've been dealing with. My son is 17yr, and "mildly ADD,non-hyperactive. He's failed 11th grade and with two weeks to go, refuses to accept that. But my biggest problem is understanding what part of him is ADD, what is laziness, and what is being child of divorce very dysfunctional family. He is in weekly counselling w/ PhD specializes in teens/ADD; and I go on another day with or without my son as requested by my son and shrink. But I'm emotionally exhausted, seeing this smart loving kid who seems lost in life. I guess I don't have a specific question except wanting to touch base. jane
