[quote=Anonymous]Op here. My child is not flagged by school for academic part, but he has behavior problem due to his adhd diagnosis. I often hear from this forum that we treat kid symptoms not the diagnosis. The new diagnosis is really rare, and they say that most likely it will cause cognitive regression & learning disability down the road even though we can't see those symptoms now. And, they want to put him on medication to control/prevent it from happening (even though there is a chance he may not be affected), well, that is why they want to do the neuropsych evaluation now and 1 year after to see if the medication works or not. The medication is for prevention, and of course it comes with some side effect. It is like I have heart attack risk stage 1, I am on medication long term daily to prevent me having a heart attack one day. I have no symptoms of heart attack but bloodwork and lab report says there are, so they put me on medication. [/quote]
