[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 year old started ADHD meds in 2nd grade, and they were life changing.  He was basically unable to sit through class and starting to suffer a lot of anxiety and depression in school.  As he's matured, the meds have mattered less.  At this point as a high school sophomore taking lots of AP classes and no longer taking meds.[/quote]
This tells me your son didn't have adhd. It was just immaturity.  Seems like you drugged him just to make life easier. I get it, but it doesn't seem like he has adhd.  I have a 12 yr old DS, and he was pretty challenging at 7, too.  But, he doesn't have adhd. He was just a boy full of energy and lots of things going around his head, like most 7 yr olds.[/quote]

This tells me that you're an idiot.  If you knew anything g about ADHD you would realiza that it's completely normal for some kids to outgrow it as their brain develops.   There is actually a huge long term study going on at NIH right now to study this that involves imaging kids' brains.  Guess what dumbass: kids with ADHD can be distinguished through brain imaging.

Christ, you're stupid.

For f@ck's sake, crack a book before you embarrass yourself.[/quote]
Yep, it's completely normal for kids to outgrow their immature, inattentive, hyper personality, without medication.

Guess what, idiot, there is no consensus among doctors that imaging is a foolproof diagnosis for adhd.  Crack a book yourself.[/quote]

Dumb@ss, immaturity or being hyper is not the same as ADHD. And imaging actually reveals different types of ADHD as different developmental issues.  This is not controversial. [/quote]
And ADHD is about development and when it happens. When a kids brain structure is completely different than their peers, it's not immaturity.  Christ you're stupid. [/quote]
