Hi, I'm Anna, age 15, ADHD and Asperger's Sydrome. I was in about 6th or 7th grade when I was diagnose. My mother had already been giving me medication, because she, my father and my two brothers had ADHD. She took me to a psychiatrist and had me officially diagnosed. I didn't think much of it, except I had an increase of meds, which I hated. I had to take 5 freakin' pills! I'm now on two something-number milligrams pills of Concerta. I also have to take meds for insomnia(lack of sleep). My mom says I don't sleep because my brain is always working, I'm always wired. I used to stay up till one every night. But I never really thought much of being diagnose except the appointments for my testing fell on a school day. I got to skip school
