 I can buck my hips and suck neck while pinned under 250 lbs of man; I had him do me doggy style so we could both watch "When Harry Met Sally"

my little brother's 11 and he's had a.d.h.d. his whole life. it is not a normal kid behavior. it may have been overdiagnosed at times, but my brother's is very severe. it doesn't help that he's dyslexic and his developemeent is 2 years slow anyway either. he's the sweetest little boy in the world, but he's always had all this energy (he gets up by at least 7am every morning) and had a really hard time directing it at anything, and because of his learning disability he would always get extremely frustrated. he can't take ritalin because it is a stimulant and he has a "tick" (he blinks a lot, and is nervous) and the ritalin would probably make that worse. the medication he is on now is amazing, he's much calmer, and is finally able to challenge some of that energy into sports and math and art and video games. i think medication is an extremely good thing, for people who need it. if i have a.d.d., it is acute, and at this stage in my life i've developed enough coping mechanisms to sorta get by. i was never hyperactive as a kid, and i was always quiet and eager to please around adults, so nobody questioned my inability to do work or sit still for any extended period of time until high school, and i'm not gonna pay somebody to test me and then tell me it's too late for medication to help much (as it might even counter-act the coping mechanisms), but after my first year of college i'm starting to seriously consider looking into it.
