[quote=Anonymous]My DD was diagnosed with ADHD at 5, and at 7 we had a full neuropsych that confirmed the ADHD and diagnosed a reading disorder. The evaluator said the reading issues *could* possibly be related to the inattention. Fast forward my kid is now 16, and decidedly does NOT have a reading disorder. She has been on every single stimulant (I think actually, except Adderall). They are ineffective at best and cause bad side effects at worst (Metadate was the only one they didn’t cause extreme irritability but was ineffective, all the others caused intolerable side effects). A psychiatric nurse practitioner we recently switched to told us that stimulants only work for around 70% of people. My DD is inattentive as well. Impulsive to some degree (verbally, with food) but the inattention has the most impact. [/quote]
