[quote=Anonymous]Our medical provider has prescribed adhd meds for our 6 yo ADHD/ASD child. But DC does not want to take it (they can swallow pills so that’s not the issue), and says that they are afraid to do so because they are afraid it will change their brain. It feels important to approach this in a way to help teach and practice bodily autonomy and a respectful approach to taking medication. How have you approached explaining meds and working with your child to feel empowered (and open) to taking medications?[/quote]
