You were. I'll give you how much of a handicap it may have been.
I was 50th percentile on the CAT in 2nd grade, unmedicated.
I was 90th percentile on the CAT in 3rd grade, medicated.
Figure out how much catch up and passing I did in 1 year... 1 year.
I've gone on to have a nice successful career and life. But without meds and help... No way.
My IQ went from 104 to 125 with meds.
Not because I became smarter, but because I could concentrate for the time IQ tests take.
