[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks for all the advice ! I'm struggling with this because dd also has dyslexia and we're likely changing to a school for dyslexia next year. I'm just not sure how much is dyslexia and how much is ADHD. I'm wondering if starting stimulants now may be premature. [b]However, her self esteem has been affected by all of this.[/b][/quote] The bolded above is why I would give meds a try. You only have to try it for a few days and you will know. I have a DD with dyslexia and ADHD and I agree that it has been hard to separate out the effects of each. Because of the dyslexia and how hard it makes school, I feel like why make it harder with untreated ADHD? For my DD, the meds weren't the panacea, but they do help so it's worth it for her.[/quote]
