[quote=Anonymous]In my experience when we started medicating our MS DD (she was a later diagnosis) it created space for her to develop this skill. She is now better at paying attention both medicated or unmedicated than she used to be. But she still does better with medication. I sense it can be hard to develop this skill without the opportunity to practice it with medication and/or when kids are too young to really understand what paying attention does and does not look like. Six feels young to truly have the self-awareness to really grasp that. Not promoting medicating immediately, but noting I think this does get better with age, in our case through intentional skill development supported with medication.[/quote]
