[quote=Anonymous]NP here - let's put this question a different way.  Perhaps he's always had a serious, studious side, but his brain's wiring was getting in the way of being allowed to showcase that side of himself. So, now, with the help of medication, he gets to benefit from all of his talents - both his serious/studious side that can get things accomplished, and his whimsical, fun-loving self that perhaps looks at things differently than the neurotypical child.   My view is as long as he's not "flat" meaning that he has no responsiveness to stimuli, doesn't react, etc., I think the meds are doing what they are supposed to be doing.  I understand - my boy is very similar to yours, but his sense of humor still comes through even on medication - and the filtering of inappropriateness and/or the ability to monitor what he's saying is much better on medication than when the medication where's off.  And he's much more able to concentrate in class without disrupting the classroom with "whimsical" behavior.  [/quote]
