Your poor parenting choices are preventing him from getting help. He needs medication. Get it for him. That's what a good parenting decision looks like.[/quote]

+1. I feel bad for the teachers and other students who your snowflake will be disrupting [/quote]

Troll supporting its troll post.[/quote]

Nope. I made the first post, don't know who the poster is who supported it.
I am an adult with ADD and I can tell you that being a child with ADD is miserable.  I would never, ever deny my child medication for ADD. [/quote]

I absolutely agree.

You would not be medicating your child for other people's convenience, you would be doing it so that your son wouldn't feel every minute of every day that he is "bad".  If you want to know whether meds are the right decision or not, talk to adults whose parents didn't medicate them and you will see very quickly. [/quote]

Another adult with ADHD who agrees. Before meds, I functioned well enough to get by without major disasters, but every minute of every day was just so hard. With meds, I still have to work with my behavioral strategies (routines, lists, schedules, reminders on my phone, regular breaks to let my brain recharge, etc.), but I don't feel like I'm starting every day still mentally tapped out from getting through the day before.[/quote]
