[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want some kind of understanding for the future. We are not on meds yet and can't be for the foreseeable future. My son runs everywhere. He can't focus for more than ten seconds. He wanders the room at preschools and social stuff. He hits when overwhelmed. He can't make eye contact because he is so restless. I've never seen ADHD this severe and I don't have any idea what to expect. Any experience to share? I can't imagine him at a mainstream school. [/quote]

Ours had just turned five.  I saw him struggling in school. Went on field trip. Observed a nightmare for all involved. Tried small dose of Focalin.  It was miraculous.  Child even articulated this.  This small dose worked like a charm for about 6 mo.  Later had to increase and then change. 4 years later he's on concerta.  No behavior problems ever at school. Happy seemingly well adjusted boy.  Still distractable and inattentive some.   Mostly doing well.  Lots of friends, plays sports, does well in most classes.  [/quote]
