Re: College a possibility for ADD person?

Hi:
In short, College is definitely a possibility!!!!!
I was recently diagnosed with ADD at the age of 27, shortly after completing law school. My ADD symptoms have always been there, but I was always considered the "smart one", so it never occurred to me that the issues that I was dealing with wasn't normal! I did very well on standardized tests....always finishing early. I would also do very well on projects and papers, but would always leave them to the last minute....thinking that I just one of the those people who worked best under pressure. In speaking with my Dr., it appears that I just catered my study habits to compensate for the issues that I was having. So, I did well in both college and grad school with unmedicated/undiagnosed ADD. (I also had several friends with diagnosed ADD that also did well in Law school).
Since the diagnosis (Nov 2004), I have been working with my doctor to prepare for the bar exam... I chose to take the medication route. For me, the difference is unbelievable.
Just thought that I would add my 2 cents! Best of Luck!! :)
