They used to get so mad at me because I wouldn't use their fat pencils or crayons, wouldn't nap, and didn't do any of the writing or reading stuff they tried with the other kids. I was taught to read/write/count and think for myself from a very young age and was reading at between a 5th and 6th grade level in kindergarten. I was bored out of my mind.
And here we are again. See my comment below. I was put on Dexedrine (Pervatin) in 1982. Who had heard of ADHD then?
I was on ritalin in the mid 70's. My ADHD was so bad they put me in the special ed room in kindergarten until they realized their mistake.
They used to do that with me too! When all the other kids were taking their nap, they would put me in a room by myself.
