[quote=Anonymous]I'm having similar struggles. DH with ADHD didn't like meds and is now against DS trying them. DS is in 4th grade and is doing fine socially from what he can tell. He's found a group of likeminded kids and gets invited to things. I'm currently mostly worried about academics. He's bright, so he's found work arounds. He's in gifted math and reading, but he's way behind his classmates when it comes to being able to produce written work. He's improving steadily; but once he is faced with written, timed tests, it's hard to see how it's going to go well. DH thinks we don't medicate until we have a problem in school. Whereas I think it's unwise to wait for that failure as he may manage for a good long while, while not excelling and generally being exhausted from having to work so much harder than many of his peers.
