My brother was borderline ADHD growing up. He hated taking Retalin because it made him feel weird...and I honestly can't blame him. He's one of the lucky ones who learned how to cope for the most part, even without medication. The structure of ROTC in both high school and college (aka The Corps at A&M) have taught him a lot about time management and self-discipline. It's been wonderful to see him be successful as an adult when things looked rather patchy when he was young.<br /><br />I think a lot of people ascribe a lack of interest or the inability to cope with stress as having some form of ADD. And then there's the whole issue of the self-fulfilling ADD prophecy...some people enhance the common symptoms.
