[quote=Anonymous]My child is much younger than yours. It was clear that he was not functioning at home or at school, and for him medication was possibly the difference between being in a mainstream classroom and not. My son is so impaired by his adhd that I viewed not medicating him as keeping him from his actual cognitive abilities. Right now, he is 5 and cannot pick and choose when to take a stimulant, but my hope is that when he is older, he will be self aware of his adhd and can feel comfortable knowing if/when he needs to medicate for it. Right now he needs medication to function. I do not medicate him on weekends because he eats better off of his stimulant, and I actually feel bad about it. He is completely dysregulated while off of his stimulant. [/quote]
