Lol I got tested as a kid and my mom still didn't belive it

That’s quality denial to get the test but not believe it. Did it cost money for you where you were then? Paying for it too would just be epic.

Not sure, I was in 2nd grade when I got tested. My mom told me that I was diagnosed with short attention span (this was the early 90s) and was told to put me on a prescription, but she didn't do that stating that she thought it was baloney, that and we were poor back then too.

But boy did my grades suffer lol
