[quote=Anonymous][quote]The problems he is having with impulse control, irritability, and aggression are not because school makes him sit for too long. [b]Even on a farm, there would be things he would have to do and demands placed on hi[/b]m as part of living with other people. His brain chemistry makes it difficult to manage those demands appropriately. Medication will help. You're doing the right thing to go to a psychiatrist because you might have to try multiple medications before you find what works.[/quote]

I completely agree with this.  I grew up on a farm and 2 of my 3 brothers had undiagnosed ADHD.  I can't tell you how frustrating it was when those 2 would do things like forget to shut a gate/barn door and then we'd be chasing cows or the dogs would get into the hen house (eat the eggs and disturb the nesting hens).  They'd also do stupid shit that resulted in injuries to them or siblings - believe you me, there are a LOT more injuries you can get on a farm than in suburbia.  Even with all the 'heavy work' and exercise my brothers got, their inattention and impulsivity were still very notable.[/quote]
