[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can absolutely tell when children do not have their medicine- that's why they are on it. If your child takes it, do not skip a day, especially after a late night.[/quote] I'm a teacher and a parent of a kid with inattentive ADHD. I can tell when a child in my class or my own child has missed stimulant medication. But there's no way that I'd be able to distinguish between sleep deprivation and ADHD-inattentive in a kid who I had never seen sleep deprived before. The symptoms of the two are very similar.[/quote] I think this kind of misses the point. It's not like OP's child would be punished simply for not having taken her medication, it's a question of how her daughter will feel and behave the next day without them, especially if she's also sleep deprived.[/quote]
