[quote=Anonymous]I also understand your reluctance to immediately medicate. I was a special ed teacher for more than 30 years and have worked with every kind of ADHD out there, and I never found a child with the diagnosis that was truly successful without meds. There are lots of meds to try and it is not easy, but the benefit to your child to not feel like they are constantly screwing up is immense. I liken it to if I were eight years old and went to a place where I couldn’t speak the language and couldn’t keep up, all day long. Why would you want your kid to feel like that? An enormous number of people in prison have untreated ADHD, just so you know. Side effects can be managed. [/quote]
