My nephew is now on meds for ADD, but my sister can't figure out if she really believes he has it or not. I can't either, I don't know enough about it. The thing is he is SO SMART! I mean he blows me away sometimes. But he may not pass 3rd grade and he already got held back in 1st grade. He's having trouble passing the TAKS test (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) that he has to pass in order to go to the next grade. I think its because its one of those long test and he can't stay focused that long. He gets a few attempts at it, but he's failed the first two. They will find out soon if he passed the final one. Keep your fingers crossed, I'm so afraid of what it will do to his self esteem if he gets held back again.
