Adolescents suffering of ADHD may have impaired driving performance. The investigators would like to check the differences in driving performance in young adults(aged: 15-18 years) with ADHD by driving simulator and seat pressure mapping with and without methylphenidate medication.
Adolescents with ADHD who are treated with one of the methylphenidate medication that is in use in Israel(Ritalin,Ritalin SR,Concerta,Ritalin LA)will be tested by driving simulator and seat pressure mapping by 2 stages: 1.when they are taking the medication that they are taking every day to control ADHD and: 2. without medication ( after 4 day washout period).
