Nellie, my report cards had nowhere near the comments that I thought they would. Thankfully a select handful contained good chunks of ADHD-supporting comments (which were the ones I took to the doc), but the rest were depressingly positive. Probably because I did very well in school, but it was DESPITE my issues, and I know I could have done so much better if I had been able to motivate myself to study and pay attention more. I went from a gifted student program in primary school, through to getting boringly average grades in my final year. I guess it’s a matter of hoping a doctor will be able to read between the lines. I certainly hope that my doc will see that a student of my initial promise should have done much better than I did, even though my grades were above average for most of my schooling. My high average grades went to average grades in my final year of high school, and then on to failing two subjects at uni, before dropping out completely.
Stash – You must have posted your post while I was writing mine (I had it up on the screen for ages, while I ate, before I posted it). How did the appointment go? Did you get any results, or do you have to go back again?
