[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he on meds in the first place? The over diagnosis and over medication of ADHD is pretty well documented. [/quote] oh STOP this nonsense on the special needs board. [/quote] Thank you. He is on meds because he was diagnosed at a very young age. Despite a high cogat score (lower standardized test scores), he couldn't learn in a classroom setting. He is doing well now because of meds + years of both parents tutoring him at home. My biggest fear is that everything good we've achieved academically falls apart without medication, but he's also decided he wants to be a pilot (and this is all him; there are no pilots in our family to spark interest).
