[quote=Anonymous]We are short parents who grew late, with a 32-weeker ex-preemie son who also grew late. ADHD runs in the family, and we have been careful to put him on a suboptimal dose and give him med breaks. But honestly, for us it wasn't "delayed" puberty so much as "on-time for our family" puberty! The timing was similar to your son. He is similarly naive and baby-like, which is very much how we were at the same age. And he is predicted to grow as tall as his father: 5'5". Multiple endocrinologists refused to give us growth hormones, despite one saying he qualified for it under one of the allowed criteria, but that it was borderline, so ultimately said no. Our daughter has "delayed" (right on time for us) puberty and sadly, being a girl, she won't even be 5'4" like me. She has never taken ADHD meds, but even with a natural growth pattern, at best, she'll be 5'1". [/quote]
