[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she has managed to get good grades and to get into 10 schools then her ADHD is pretty minor as it isn't impacting her academically. [b]Most meds don't treat the social aspects of ADHD. [/b]

I am not saying she shouldn't seek treatment but normally the impact of ADHD is seen on academics. If she manages fine without medication, then taking meds may not make a huge difference for her.[/quote]

This is not true.  My niece has ADHD and before meds she was impulsive and had a very difficult time making friends.  On meds, she is much less impulsive and emotional, and has made friends.  My mom was very against ADHD meds because she thought it was a fake diagnosis.  Even she now comments on the difference in my niece, who would get in “trouble” with adults before because she didn’t filter before she spoke and would come across as rude.  Or she would melt down because she would easily get overwhelmed with thought/emotions.  This isn’t the case with all kids, but OP shouldn’t write off meds without trying to see how it impacts her specific kid.[/quote]
