My specialist said to me that it's the synapses between the cells that are messed up - the pathways - so I need to reinforce all the info going in - so I am learning Italian as a challenge - I do everything to reinforce the memory - and it does work - I walk past people I know - I did it twice today, I rewatch tv programmes from the week before without realising that I have seen them, so much memory gets lost but anything I have given a double/triple/quadruple dose of brain power to stands a much better chance of staying put. My suggestion to your daughter is to stick with it, don't let the bloody thing beat her, to write down as much as she can, to keep a work diary, to record her work onto an i-player so she can play it back, she'll get there I am sure - and she may grow out of the ADD, 1 of my grandchildren who was on ADD pills galore is more or less fine and off the medication at the age of 18 as long as she keeps off aspartame type chemicals

I admire that girl a lot because she doesn't know the word "Quit." She is determined to finish college, even if it is extremely difficult for her to remember things.
