[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to admit, it got interesting when the OP of that thread let out that her DH has worked in the pharmaceutical industry and had reservations about ADHD medications.  That cracked me up...."my husband wont believe me over his CARREER EXPERIENCE, so help me find another way to convince him"[/quote]

You're putting words into the other OP's mouth - words that support your bias.  Her DH has worked in the pharmaceutical field but that's pretty far ranging.  He could have been a sales rep (obviously not for ADHD drugs since OP said he's not familiar with them), he could have been an accountant for a drug company, he could have been someone that proposes names for new medicines - it could have been a lot of different things.  Here's OP's quote[quote] " I am the one that has done all of the research and my husband has done zero. His area was not related to ADHD (not even close),"[/quote]  [quote]My husband thinks he is just way too young to medicate, and not that I disagree entirely, but I also feel like we've exhausted options[/quote]  There is absolutely NOTHING in that OP's posts that would indicate her DH's opposition is in any way related to what he knows, what he's learned in his career, what he's learned in his PhD program or through his research.  It sounds like her DH is stonewalling rather than in engaging in rational discussion about what the best course of action is for their child.  He's not even observed his DS  in the classroom. OP also handles most of the homework because her DH doesn't know enough to deal with the problems of ADHD and homework [quote] My husband is just not as patient (mostly because he has not read anything about ADHD so he doesn't know the right techniques to use). On the occasions when he does do it, it usually becomes a battle and I have to intervene.[/quote]

Why do you feel the need to twist words?  Don't you realize that it really diminishes your message?  When I see posts like yours, I can't help but dismiss the message because of the messenger.[/quote]

And yet you forgot to post a pretty important quote from her original statement....."He also used to be in the pharmaceutical field and thinks the ADHD drugs are partly a money-making scheme."
