[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7th grade boy with an ADHD inattentive diagnosis that he got before 6th.  I also wasn’t sure about the diagnosis, but we decided to start medication - Concerta (generic).  The difference on the medication is tremendous.  He was working really hard to try to concentrate but just couldn’t do it.  I immediately saw that things were easier for him.  Now, when we forget the medication on a weekend, I can’t believe the difference.  He has had no real side effects outside of some small appetite suppression[b].  I would recommend giving the medication a try and see how he does on it.[/b]  You can always stop it.  It isn’t addicting.  [/quote]

This is absolutely crazy advice. The op has not listed any evidence that their kid has adhd. A diagnosis came back without adhd. But you’re suggesting medication?

That’s why teachers eye roll when kids with real issues request accommodations. Because eighty percent of the kids they have to accommodate have made up issues. [/quote]
