[quote=Anonymous]My DC is 8 and has inattentive ADHD. He also has dyslexia and is doing a summer reading program. We were told the ADHD likely is contributing to his reading challenges, but we otherwise don't see a ton of ADHD symptoms. He started on Ritalin a few weeks ago, and we've had to keep increasing the dosage but have not seen any real effects - no side effects or improvements. We've asked his teacher, and she has also not noticed a change. Is this common? Wouldn't we expect some kind of impact? I've been wondering from the start of he really has ADHD because it was mostly seen in the screening test part of his neuropsych - not in anyone's report of observations of him. Does this mean he might not? Or that he just needs a different med?[/quote]
