another question. What do you think the best medication for ADHD would be? I was prescribed wellbutrin SR but it doesn't do a damn thing for me. 

People with ADHD can be stubborn like anyone else. The problem with having ADHD can often be an inability, or very dififcult time, shifting out of the stubborness. They can get so headstrong about an idea or point of view they can sometimes hyper focus on it. When they do their entire focus is being generated into what they are heavily engaged in. When you ask that person to forget about it or let go, it is like asking someone driving a Ferrari to put the brakes on when you are going 200 mph. When they are able to press on the brakes they are going to abruptly stop creating skid marks on the road. They just went from going full speed to having to stop so they can shift their attention out of what they were paying attention to andshift into something enitrely new. It will feel very uncomforatble making an abrupt stop with any transition. When someone is very stubborn with ADHD you need to faciliate a chnage that integartes time intervals of certain druation whatever it si for that person. So if you want somone to get erady for a party that is hyper focsu on the computer you don't just give him a five minute warning you might have to give him two fifteen minute warnings so he can gradually slow his engine down and comes to a full stop so he can close dwon teh computer and shift into getting ready for the party. As Eileen stated, sometimes there is a secondary conditon like Oppositional Definat Disorder. Howvere, sometimes a child can appear ODD when he is bored and wants to create stimualiton in his brain so he/she may create a quarrel ro conflcit with someone to get his brain stimulated. ADHD can make the stubborness tough to shift out of and if what they are focused on is really imprtant to them they may stick to their guns becasue they feel they are totally right and/or it is just to hard to shift out of their opinion.

Please disregard my first answer it went out before I could spell check: This one will be much easier to read:
