[quote=Anonymous]My DC tested as having severe ADHD - dual type. It turns out he is allergic to the stimulants and developed tics during the one week he was on one and his symptoms increased so it wasn't a good fit anyway. He is on Strattera and has been for several years. It helps but it does not eliminate it. We make sure he gets good exercise everyday. We make sure he gets frequent quick breaks. We make sure he gets enough sleep. It means at 14 he has to go bed at 9:00pm. (He gets up at 6:00am to make his 6:45 bus.) He listens to music while he does his math homework, but not for other subjects. He doesn't have a worry stone, but I know of another students that uses that or a piece of string with knots in it to play with while studying. Good luck to you and your DC.[/quote]
