trashman,the “slow” for many ADD/ADHDers (when not in conjunction with developmental disability(ies)) tends to be due to needing to sort through all of the white-noise in your own head before you can even know what you’re thinking. For me the medication has helped a lot. The diagnosis can — depending on your school & doctor — also get you accomodations like extra testing time. I never passed an algebra class until I got 150% of the allocated time for quizes & tests in a quiet room. Now I’m working on my pre-req’s to apply to a masters program for math education. You may find that you not only can do well, but enjoy subjects that previously were daunting.

Peace & happy learning
