[quote=Anonymous]In response to 16:45 - there is a huge difference in cultures and norms of the GP/Off Topic and the SN forums.  Going off topic in those forums, being judgmental or offering an over-the-top dissenting opinion is more acceptable than it is on SN.  The posts in the other thread were not helpful, particularly after OP indicated her DH had done no research on ADHD, even though he has a background in pharmaceutical research.  Had they been in the vein of 'we did X and had good success, you might think about it' or 'before trying medication, what other approaches have you tried'.  Instead, we got "Anything else is, in my opinion, completely irresponsible." "Hello sane person" (implying the rest of us are insane).  "ding da-ding da-ding ding ding!"  "Your child is 5 or 6. How can you possibly have tried "everything" in that short amount of time? How can you be so certain that your child is going to "fail out of school" etc. when your child has only been in K for 3 months?"

The examples you provide are also not analogous to the other OP's question.  You were hijacking the other thread and were warned.  I'm sorry if you can't understand why many of us thought it unacceptable.  It's not that we're anti-alternative treatment, we're anti-judgment, anti-insult and anti-hijack.  I don't know why you continued to insist on posting when it was clear that posts such as yours were not what the OP was looking for.[/quote]
