[quote=Anonymous]You have to know his limits and how they clash with reasonable societal expectations, OP. My son is 17. We reached the limits of what meds could do years ago. Even with a dysfunctional neurotransmitter system, he can't be late for his first class every day. He has to come down in the morning with time to spare for breakfast, since Adderall suppresses his appetite. He has to go to bed at a reasonable time, because he has sleep apnea and, hello, can't be late to class. All these are hard to do with severe ADHD that's unmedicated at night and in the morning... and yet if he can't regulate himself, he will never be able to hold down a job. So yes, I exact consequences. [/quote]
