[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The judgment on this thread is really hard to take. My DC is 8 and just started ADHD meds, although not Adderal. Dc is two grade levels behind in some subjects. Can’t sit at the dinner table long enough to eat a meal. Doesn’t sleep well. We do various therapies three times a week, he does lots of physical activity on the weekends but with all the therapies it’s hard to do as much during the week. Because of his LDs and being so far behind private school isn’t an option and we couldn’t secure admission at any of the SN schools. What do I do?  He knows he is different, can’t keep up with peers. Is starting to show signs of depression. We already do a specialized diet similar to Fiengold but with some differentiation because of other medical issues. I can’t move my child to a farm. He needs to be in a big city where he can see his medical specialists.

I’m talking about a child who cannot handle a second grade curriculum. I’m running pillar to post trying everything I can think of. Snark about parents who would rather have their kid pop a pill than do the hard work of parenting does nothing but make this struggle worse. [/quote]

As the mother of a child with ADHD, I understand and sympathize. People just don't understand, and I don't bother anymore. [/quote]
