Young adults often make it through their entire lives without ever being diagnosed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, even though they sense they are different from their peers. Parents fear talking to their children's doctor about it because they do not want their kids put on Ritalin or other strong medication. Then, later in life, these special needs adults suffer quietly because they fear stigmas from their classmates, coworkers, family members and friends. They don't want it to seem like something is "wrong" with them, so they internalize their emotions into depression, aggression or anxiety. Studies show that, with a little understanding and resources, ADHD adults can live meaningful and successful lives, despite their unique challenges.
