A member asked:
Can a 17 years old person be diagnosed with adhd recently after having excellent grades until age of 14 years ?

Possibly: Most often we find that the patient has had adhd since early childhood that went undiagnosed. While poor grades can accompany attention deficit disorder, it is possible to still have good grades with the disorder.

Yes: As school requires most sustained attention problems with adhd can become a greater interference in academic performance.
