[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I talked to my husband about it and he said that he was just like our son when he was a child but that he grew out of it when he was a teenager. I hope the same is true for our son. I don't really want to medicate our son because I don't feel like he needs it so does anyone have any suggestions for methods or books I could read that might help speed him up a bit? Thanks.[/quote]

If you have good health insurance you may consider meeting with a Neuropsychologist for neuropsychology evaluation as testing runs a few thousand dollars.   The testing, which is usually done 4 hours for 2 days can rule in or out ADHD.

I understand your opinion about drugs but doing this type of evaluation gives you an option of doing a 504 plan in school (extended time on tests and projects, seating up front, etc...) should ADHD be apparent.[/quote]

Not surprising about your DH, OP, as this runs in families.

We had our 16yo tested  recently.  He was struggling so much in school, just awful.  We gave him on a low dose of stimulant and are putting an IEP in place.

Do not let your bias against drugs get in the way of your son's interests.[/quote]
