[quote=Anonymous]My DS is 11 and we started him on ADHD meds last summer. School never had been an issue because he was always well behaved and did fine academically. Anything unstructured, though, and he would go off the rails. A lot of life is unstructured. It's been interesting. Sometimes I don't think it does much because we'd give him the pill before he went to school (side effect: his test scores shot up, not that they had been a previous concern). We have been giving him a med break this summer. We just started him back on it yesterday to prep for something. I took him with me to the store. The shop keeper came out to talk to us and spent some time going over something with him. I was shocked to realize that he was capable to standing still and listening. If I hadn't given it to him, he would have been bouncing, interrupting, and most likely whining. So, there's that. [/quote]
