My Son Shows Signs of ADHD. How Will This Affect Him When He Is Grown?
Question by Cindy: My son shows signs of ADHD. How will this affect him when he is grown?
Actually, I have never had him diagnosed but have been told by every adult that crosses his path to put him on meds for ADHD. I dont beleive in doing that because I love the way he is. He is fisty and hyper and full of energy and life. I wish I was more like that but he is almost too much for most people to handle. He can run circles around kids his age. People say he will be the next CEO, great actor, etc………He is a bright kid but sometimes shows signs of disinterest and depression. His dad is the same way as him and got on drugs and has alot of other problems which is why we divorced. Are there any adult ADHD men that could give me advice on steering him in the right direction?

my step father of 34 acually had really bad adhd and hey got on drugs and overdosed when i was 8…but alot of actors and celberties are aDD ADHD…like will smith, bam magera, Robin Williams, Will Smith, dustin hoffman….alot of them, adderall is a really good medication..when i was on it i was the same BUT BETTER! because i could consentrate more and because your son is bright and creative, he might not be able to put his mind into action, on medication, he will be able to show his talents and his mind… having adhd it might hurt his grades in school…depends on how old he is. The medicine won’t make him any differnt, just change his behavior.
