The neurologist that diagnosed me said that often smart kids with adhd, particularly innatentive ones, breeze through school. Then they end up in college and a natural knack for memorizing strange details isn't enough anymore and your world blows up. 

Also, for anyone else out there that hasn't been diagnosed, or was diagnosed by a psychologist, but is worried that they're "faking" or just lazy, go to a neurologist and get a qEEG brain mapping done. I cannot understate how validating it is to see that your entire front brain lights up like a christmas tree when highlighting areas that are underactive compared to the general population.

That being said, insurance doesn't cover it, and its 600 dollars. But, I have that validation forever, and its so worth it.

Also, you get an ICD10 diagnosis instead of a DSMV diagnosis. Which, as messed up as it is, is taken more seriously when getting medication, which is a huge plus.

I am a senior in HS and have already realized this, but there isn’t much I can do. I have been a planner at heart but when the going gets tough I usually just dive in head first. College feels so scary to me, how do I succeed? how does my world not blow up, or how can I soften the blow?
