[quote=Anonymous]OP, please read Boys Adrift by Leonard Sax before having your son diagnosed. That book changed our life!!! My DS was like (and sometimes still is like) many of the kids described here- has to touch everything, gets extra-hyper when tired, constantly moves, won't sit still. Yet, we have not had him evaluated because he's actually doing really well in school and we are opposed to medication unless it's absolutely necessary (and if he were falling behind in school, I'd think it's necessary). I truly think you would be doing your 3.5 y/o a huge disservice to have him labeled at this point in his life. And I think you'd be making a big mistake to medicate him at 3.5 too. And if your son isn't doing well in his charter, I'd suggest looking at other schools. If a school can't handle a hyperactive 3.5 y/o boy, then it's not the right fit for that child. There are plenty of schools where he'd do just fine.[/quote]
