[quote=Anonymous]Meds absolutely help. Don’t listen to the judgy-crunchy-stuck-in-the-1990s-antimed opinions, do what you need for your kid, and your home life. They’re extremely well studied at this point, including long term effects. They are safe when used correctly. My DC was having struggles across the spectrum and while meds aren’t a cure-all, it improved her life even in sport. Good luck! It’s a journey, but getting that diagnosis, and then doing the parental self-education work will be a blessing for your ability to help your DC. That said, getting a diagnosis can be tough. Many many many teachers downplay symptoms because they have their own opinions about ADHD and what is supposed to look like. If your kid isn’t a “problem” for the teacher, they’ll likely mark all theirs observations right down the middle, even teachers who have ADHD kids of their own. It may take some serious advocacy on your part, so just prepare yourself for that.[/quote]
