[quote=Anonymous] At 4, we suspected. At 6, we knew and got an IEP and accommodations and services through the school. At 9, he failed despite the school's excellent efforts. At 10, we medicated. Obviously, this was much too long to wait. But DH could not be persuaded earlier. On the plus side, all these years of teaching him study skills and responsibility for himself turned him into a stellar student as soon as his meds kicked in. We had been warned that medication would address the attention and speed, but not necessarily the target of his attention, and that he would need to learn how to use his new-found attention. Not so - he was good to go from day 1.[/quote]
