[quote=Anonymous]Adderall + tutor == 180 degree turn for our 2e/ ADHD kid. It also made me realize just how frustrated and miserable he was dealing with a high IQ but low processing speed and other issues surrounding ADHD (and possibly very mild HFA). Seeing the change, and how much happier and more confident he became, I really wished we had gone the medication route earlier (we held out until MS when he became unable to function with changing classes and assignments from multiple teachers). I know it's hard to bite the bullet and medicate a kid, but with a good MD (use a child psych. And not your pediatrician!!!) who is thoughtful about medication, it *can* make a huge difference in your child's quality of life. (And we dealt with the same types of meltdowns and blames through ES-- You are not alone in that! I really do think it is often a bright child who is very frustrated). Good Luck![/quote]
