[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am also a mother of an ADHD child and I totally feel for you.  Although our parents are mostly supportive, we did lose a few relatives and friends over our decision not to medicate.  [b]For those posters who think ADHD kids are disruptive[/b] - oh please.  Wait until you meet kids with ED:)

OP, in your case, I'd not waste my time and money and just stay home.  I am sure you can find plenty of activities for your ADHD boy to do. [/quote]

I was one of the pro medication posters and have adult add.

It's not about your kid being disruptive to others. It is about how your child feels them self and the damage that is done.  I promise as a child it was truly miserable to want to be able to be like the other kids, try really hard, and fail over and over.  It took a major toll on my self esteem and ultimately I stopped trying in school as well.  If your child's behavior makes others alienate him, that's even worse. He doesn't want to act that way and he doesn't want to feel  out of control. [/quote]
