Childhood ADHD diagnosis and initial medication
Jonathan Flowers, an assistant professor of philosophy, shares his experience of being diagnosed with ADHD as a child. His mother, a special education teacher, noticed symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and difficulty with turn-taking. Jonathan was prescribed Ritalin, which helped him cope. However, social pushback against ADHD led to him being taken off medication in his early teens, resulting in struggles with focus and grades in different subjects, particularly in high school.
