I want to applaud the guy for sharing this with you. This means he not only
feels comfortable with you. He trust you to understand, and want to be around him with knowing this.

I have two son's that were treated as children with ADHD. And now are leading pretty normal lifes. I can tell you pretty much that one has settled
down and his ADHD is under control. Because his biggest issue was the hyperactivity. So once he got older, he wasn't as hyper, and could learn to control the other things. And did so.

The other one is very ADD, and has to use skills to work through this. But he doesn't do this as much as he should. So he still forgets things. And depends on us to remind him. He luckily has me, his girlfriend and dad to make sure he remembers. His main two things he has to remember daily are to go to work on time, and to take his medications.

OTher than this, we have to make sure he remembers to pick up his medications when he runs low. Pay the bills he is responsible for. Come get mail from me at my house. And I have to call him and remind him about
doctor's appts before they happen usually.

I depend on his girlfriend for the everyday things though. And when he starts to realize that he is forgetting to much. He will usually ask his doctor about adderall. Which is what worked for him.

But with his illness, Crohns, or Ulceraticus colitis. We watch if it bothers him.
He finally feels better. SO we don't rock the boat.
