For me the answer is both. I'm one of the lucky ADHDers. Getting A's was super easy... IF i tried. And I only tried when it was either an emergency or if I loved the subject. Only then would my superpower of hyperfocus kick in and I could learn an entire semester in one night.

It a topic bored me, I'd do the bare minimum. C was the lowest I would allow for myself. I never had a D or an F from kindergarten through college.

I wish I had been medicated, although I don't know if it would have helped.

I took Spanish in college and I dropped it. Foreign language just bored me. I didn't have the need or desire at the time. Got C's in High School Latin class. Hated it.

Although I speak Spanish now because I needed to learn it for work and I developed a strong desire to learn it. So my hyperfocus superpower kicked in and I studied on my own and am conversational now. No school, just bought books and audios and let my ADHD work its magic.

People are shocked because they remember me in school. But those with ADHD are not shocked by it. Not the ones that share the hyperfocus superpower. lol

Thoughts?

My girlfriend who lives abroad in vietnam did not talk to much to me between the months of October and December. She would be active on facebook but seldomly reply to my messages that i sent daily. She asked me to teach her french. After that time period, we started talking again more but i soon discovered a guy "liking" all of her photos. He is french. I questioned her on this man and she said it was a friend she met in the bar she works at. She often dodges and evades my questions about the matter. Everytime I ask her about him, she gets angry and says that she cannot stand my jealousy/ inquiry and suggests possibly breaking up. She says I never believe her. She then promised me she would never contact him and will block him from her profile. English is not her native language and says she cannot fully express herself. Around February , I discovered an alternate account that she had with an alternate name (japanese name at the japanese bar she works at). She allowed me to have the password to that account and I discovered other foreign men on her friends list and within her messages that she messaged that same guy that "this is my facebook". I confronted her and told her she lied about ceasing contact with him. She told me her boss told her to add him there... She restricts me from looking at her actual facebook and from meeting him. Her friends lie about never seeing her when in fact they see eachother weekly and are very close.

Does all of this sound a little fishy or am I being overly analytically jealous (as she claims)?
