[quote=Anonymous]+1 on PP's suggestion that this does not have to be an all-time decision. With stimulants you'll see the effect immediately and can stop it at any time. It helps dramatically with the ADHD but can aggravate some of the HFA issues like inflexibility or obsessive behavior. A tough balance to strike, and we're currently off medication. But I'm glad we experimented with it and am sure we will again. We think he's actually carried forward some of the abilities the medication helped him find, even though he's not currently on it--as if having the experience of being able to sit still and concentrate taught him that he could do it, and that persists to some extent even with the crutch removed.
