[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your kid doesn't really have ADHD, he just performs better in school when he's jacked up on speed. A+ parenting there buddy!

Did you read what the pp wrote?  Her kid [b]does have ADHD but only uses it during the school week.  Mine does the same thing.  They still have ADHD on the weekends but it is a way to give them a break.  Sometimes  if they don't have an appetite because of the meds, than they can eat more during the weekends.

My DD is ADHD inattentive and if she didn't take it during school she would daydream the day away and miss a lot of the instruction ( I was the same way but, didn't know anything about ADHD, inattentive)

So give the pp a break.

That's probably the difference.  Kids that have ADHD-Inattentive type need the medication mostly to focus.  Kids that have ADHD-Implusive Type or Combined Type need the medication to control their bodies and their emotions.  Unlike focusing at school, body and emotional regulation still need to happen on the weekends and on vacation.[/quote]
