[quote=Anonymous] i was that kid growing up. i put up with being called lazy, slow-poke, air-headed etc. -- by the people who loved me. Others were less understanding. As i grew up i overcompensated and made "good" in life, with grad school and a good career. But when my kid was showing high anxiety at school and could not tell us anything about the day, we had her evaluated, expecting much worse than ADHD. My own diagnostic came only after hers, as learned more about it. If your son is having a hard time, he needs help. That comes as accommodations, as skill building and possibly as medicine. Ideally, the latter is a facilitator while the skills are built, rather than a long-term solution. The idea here is that he deserve the support to reach his potential. If he needed eyeglasses, you'd give those to him, right?[/quote]
