[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why you will not use medication that will save your kid. We also have a late diagonosed boy who was "a joy to have the classroom" but "not very bright" and "extremely shy." In fact, he was very bright (1450 on first SAT), but was literally missing half of the conversation going on around him in the classroom due to extremely low attention. As soon as the converstations in class became a part of what was being tested for grades, he started failing. Medication saved his self esteem, his social life and ability to have conversations and follow nonverbal cues, his academic understanding and grades. He is so much happier and thriving now.[/quote] NP. My kid is 15 and newly diagnosed as inattentive. We are starting meds for exactly the reasons you list above.[/quote]
