Reviews For He Understands Me
In particular, the odds of getting an appointment on turning up are close to none. Beside the fact that a teacher definitely couldn't do it without parental permission. Other details - Snape only sees Harry for one lesson. Even accounting for less stringent diagnosis back then, this would not happen. One adult does not constitute multiple settings. Generally, professionals require informants from multiple places over a period of time, especially for children. (Adults can be diagnosed faster.) Also, there is no way 3 months would be prescribed at once. There are health checks (particularly cardiac) which must be done before taking stimulants and then careful monitoring (generally weekly in the UK) of pulse, heart rate, side effects, etc. There is also a slow taper up to the final dose. Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I know the odds of getting a doctor's appointment out of the blue is extremely rare, and yes, the other details are valid as well. They were all things I considered when I was writing this, and still things I am debating fixing now. As it is a fanfic, I went with the cliched 'handwaving magic of the author' to explain how it all happens so quickly, because it's honestly less about Harry seeing a doctor and getting a prescription than it is about Harry and Snape's relationship. Most of the reviewers talking about accuracy are talking about the relationships, and how Harry and Snape act. I will also admit, since I'm not from the UK, I don't know how many of the medical practices differ from where I live, which is also why I was extremely vague on that area. So, thank you again for the review, and I'm rather sorry that the details aren't up to par but still hope that you enjoy the story regardless.
I have an IQ of 162 and my son's is 159, but the tragedy of having ADHD is like a hobble on a Pegasus: You have the wings, but are unable to fly! Thank you for writing this story! MelJ Author's Response: I'm really glad you liked it! I don't have ADHD personally, but my brother does and I've done a lot of research to try to make sure I could portray Harry and Severus realistically, both the negatives and the hidden blessings. I'm going to keep writing it, I've just been really busy recently so it's fallen by the wayside. So, thank you again for your review! And I'm glad that you feel that it's accurate :)
Author's Response: I am planning on updating at some point, I've just been really busy and haven't had much time to write. I like this story and I'm not going to abandon it, I just need to have time and energy to write before I can update it. I'm really glad that you like it, and I hope you like the next chapter when it comes out.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review :) I've been planning on updating, and I have no intention to abandon this story, but I had a lot going on. I hope I can update sooner this time though.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!
Esto es sencillamente genial!!! Tengo una hermana con ADHD y jamás había leído un finc con este sindrome, genial!!! me encanta tu iniciativa Author's Response: Thanks for your review :) My brother has ADHD too, which was one of the reasons I chose to do this prompt. I'd never read a fic where a character had this syndrom either. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
