[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just want to tell you my heart is breaking for you. I was very resistant to medicating my ADHD/ASD child, until I attended a talk by Dan Shapiro (https://www.parentchildjourney.com/resources/) and saw how upset my child was by his inability to control his behavior at school. Once we found the right medication (and that took some trial and error) it was such a difference. I realized, in retrospect, how much energy he was expending and how he'd been suffering just trying to get through his day, and I still feel terrible that I waited so long to get him the (medical) help he needed. I have always had the same anxiety about weight gain that I hear in your postings, but his food aversions and pickiness are also more manageable now that he is medicated. Please, for your daughter's sake as well as yours, ask your pediatrician to give meds a try.[/quote]
