[quote=Anonymous]It's certainly possible it's a misdiagnosis and your son just has a reading disorder that can be better addressed working with a learning specialist to develop strong compensatory strategies. My understanding is that ritalin is better for symptoms of impulsivity rather than inattention. But it might be worth trialing another medication to see if it has the same outcome before moving away from medication. We were able to rule out dyslexia when we found the right ADHD medication and my DS could suddenly learn to read. He moved from well below grade level to grade level quite quickly once he could sustain attention. I don't like to think about the damage to his self esteem if we had not figured out what he needed![/quote]
