GETTING DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD AND A LEARNING DISABILITY
My parents were support. I probably made it by in high school because they stayed on me. But eventually I told them, there was something else going on. I am a pretty bright kid and I just cannot do my homework in a reasonable amount of time. You’ve taken everything away from me; I am just sitting staring at the book. They helped me with the initial step. My physician diagnosed me with Attention Deficit Disorder. He isn’t a psychologist so that wasn’t good enough documentation for the Access Office (in order to get accommodations at UNH). After experiencing that frustration, I went to the psychiatrist and was formally diagnosed. This year for the LSAT and GRE (tests to get into Law School and Graduate School), I needed cognitive testing done to legitimize my disability further. The tests showed I had a learning disability in addition to the ADHD. Showing me the numbers and where the mistakes were I made, I can see it. It affects your potential. You know you have a superior IQ, but your achievement is stunted because of the LD and ADHD which is why you basically bombed certain parts of the test.
