Jessica, Everything you say is very plausible, Jessica, and would certainly be something to be concerned about. However, I would encourage you to remember that not all students with ADHD have either the same difficulties or the same level of difficulty. Some individuals with ADHD *do* have trouble relating socially. Others are absolutely charming and at their very best in social situations, and only have problems in more structured settings. Being aware of the functional limitations of THIS student with the disability is more important than knowing the general characteristics of the disability. Dr. Jane Jarrow
