[quote=Anonymous]No, she hasn't been evaluated. And I don't know if I want to have that done. I don't want to go to meds. She is keeping up and learning. Everything gets done, though it takes endless reminding (nagging) and redirecting. I think of medication as the last resort. And I ESPECIALLY do not want to label her in her own mind. No accommodations at school, no excuses. I would lose my shit if I ever heard her say "I can't do this because my brain works differently" (or whatever people tell kids to explain why they're taking pills every day). I'm not saying we would never go there, but it is a LONG way off, and would require serious deterioration of the current situation. What have folks done that isn't medication or a medical label? Coping strategies, for child and parent? Messages that get through? [/quote]
