actually curlymoe I would disagree with you about MRI’s – on the NIMH website there’s an article about the decade of the brain and there are images of PET scans showing the difference between a “normal” brain and an ADD brain – as I recall it has to do with the metabolism of glucose or something? – but an MRI is just a snapshot and I have good days and bad days so I don’t believe that an MRI is a useful diagnostic tool – the 100+ pages of questions I answered as part of my assessment with Dr. J was much better and I believe those tests are conclusive
@Chelsea – the ubiquitous “they” used to believe that everybody outgrew ADHD – my dear friend and fellow ADD’er Beamer explains it as learning to act more “normal” to get dates once we hit those teenage years! we learn to adapt to survive
