[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No regrets medicating—life would be nearly impossible without. But it's not an easy road, either. It took a long time to find something that worked with a level of side effects we could live with. It's very much an individual choice, based on individual's profile.

You didn't say how old your DC is, but focus and attention can be indicative of issues besides ADHD, particularly in younger grades—maybe a learning difference like dyslexia or a bad fit in the classroom. I would pursue some kind of evaluation to make sure you're not missing something.[/quote]

OP here. Right. I earlier thought (naive me then) dc - my 8yo - was bored in the classroom b/c it’s too easy for him, so he goofs off, so teacher sends a note... And adhd-ignorance made me think, when i am running late like one op described, dc is just disorganized now but it will get better one day etc.

I am facing a hard road (b/c of full time job and not too many leave days) ahead of many doctor visits on two fronts : food neophobia (which I’m 99% confident he has) and possibly some milder version of Adhd.  It’s okay . Will get through.[/quote]
