[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD was also diagnosed with inattentive ADD at 11. Big disparity between IQ and working memory/processing speed. She is now 12 and we're tried various meds but have yet to find one that seems helpful to her. None had any negative effects except transient difficulty sleeping-- but none seemed to have much positive impact either. At any rate: no apparent impact on school, where she gets Bs in academic subjects and As in arts subjects, which is what she loves. Like your DD, she tends to do pretty well on projects and in class discussions and on homework, but often does very poorly on tests. (Also like your DD she is very social). We may try one or two more kinds of medication. On the other hand, if she's happy getting Bs and can get them without meds, we can live with that![/quote]
