[quote=Anonymous]Here's a success story.  We had a very difficult son, diagnosed with ADHD.  At 5, He threw tantrums, refused to leave the house and get into the car, hit me and other children, etc.  When he started school we learned suprisingly that he was able to control his behavior at school, and was a very energetic learner.  He would fall apart when he got home and cry and have tantrums, but next morning he's be happy to go off to school.  Because school was OK we decided not to medicate, but kept that option open.  Gradually he turned into a very good, self disciplined, and outspoken student.  He became a great public speaker and debater.  By high school he asked for medication to help him study and take tests. So we got meds, but he decides when to use them.  In high school he kept up a strong academic schedule, played a sport, and did every extracurricular activity he could. He needs very little sleep.  He is now a freshman at a top twenty university and is doing well.  He has amazing energy and is very self-motivated. He still demands a lot of attention from us and lets us know if he doesn't think we are doing what he thinks we ought to do, but is able to interact with professors, peers, and other family members successfully and is doing well socially and academically at college.[/quote]
