[quote=Anonymous]3 kids all now teens+. The oldest has ADHD but wasn’t diagnosed until late. Had it been earlier, I don’t think it would have factored into my decision to have more kids. It’s been well controlled with meds (I realize everyone is different). However, all 3 of my kids have other disabilities and I didn’t know until after #3 was born. There is some overlap (anxiety) but also some non-overlap. With the exception of anxiety, none of it runs in the family. My point is you never know what will crop up. There were a few years where we had a lot of appointments because one was in psychotherapy, 2 in OT and 2 in speech. But we just put one foot in front of the other and made it through. The good times still far outweighed the stress. Nobody has a crystal ball and anytime you have a baby you wade into the unknown. A child can develop cancer or severe food allergies which are far scarier to me than ADHD could ever be. My kids are amazing and doing well so I don’t have any regrets. [/quote]
