[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your teens on ADHD meds? [i]Yes, since 5th grade[/i] Have symptoms improved? [i]Yes, but not eliminated[/i] Are they on a higher or lower dose than before? [i]We just reduced his dose in August and so far so good. [/i] What do you find meds help with? Impulsivity? Decision making? [i]Helped with impulsivity, nervousness, tics, and reading. He is on a non-stimulant medication. [/i] What about driving? [i]He isn't yet. He will be eligible for taking the permit test before Christmas. We plan on a long learning curve. He also has some motor coordination issues that may be a factor, but the people we have consulted feel that he should be a bel to drive, it will take longer though. So, we will be in the parking lots and quiet roads for months. [/i] [/quote] What type of experts did you consult re the driving? An OT?[/quote]
