Good advice. I think it's definitely key, at least for me [as someone diagnosed with adhd].
Support can mean talking about it with the doc who prescribed the meds, talking to a different one about it, and also informal means like close friends or family members.
(There's a learning disabilities group at my college, which can help with study advice and what not, it's something to check out at your school). Also, speaking of schools, the guidance counseling might be able to guide you to some resources on campus (if you're looking for support that is).
Back to the question (i went off on a tangent, heh), I guess it depends on the screening. My screening was for 4/5 hours or so, taking all sorts of different cognative tests [I think they tested for me for other things as well, I was a high school frosh at the time).
regards,
will.
