[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me a true sign that hyper ADHD diagnosis is on spot is how your kid reacts to adhd meds. I couldn't believe it with dd, she falls asleep on Vyvanse and Concerta was calming for her. In fact, she calms down a bit on coffee too. I tend to think that a kid who becomes super chatty and more active on stimulants is misdiagnosed(not in every case clearly).[/quote]

My almost mute ADHD child becomes more talkative on ADHD meds but would still be considered not much of a talker compared to her peers. We're certain she has ADHD. She says without the meds she can't follow conversations and forgets what she wants to say while she waits for the other person to finish talking. On meds she stays engaged and doesn't lose what is going on and can hold in her mind what she wants to contribute even if she has to wait to speak. She's inattentive ADHD and shows no signs of impassivity. She's one of those well behaved, people pleasing inattentive types who flew under the radar for a long time. On ADHD meds she's more normal. Without them people often asked us if she had selective mutism. [/quote]

*impulsiveness* not impassivity  :-/ Sorry! [/quote]
