Re your comment about the young man in college: I had a friend in college who had that experience. Now, when my friend was in elementary, Ritalin didn't exist. She began taking it at the age of 21, because college was very frustrating for her, and she is not a stupid person. However, after an assessment she began taking it, and the difference to her ability to concentrate and complete classwork on time was amazing.(When I met her she was already on it.) However, I have seen other parents that I know misuse the drug.
