[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish the article/studies had addressed the idea that some kids need meds to be able to benefit from social skills coaching and other therapies. Not to complete worksheets in grade school, but to learn real skills that do impact long term outcomes. [/quote] Fwiw, my kids with ADHD have friends who mostly also have ADHD. Their friendships are dramatic and they trigger each other but they also forgive/forget and move on quickly and easily. Medicating for social reasons may be missing the point, IMHO. Ftr, we gave DS stimulant meds for the purpose of keeping him in his seat in 2021, when schools were reopening but no longer allowed students to wander around the classroom. It works for that. I hope to get him off meds at some point. Fingers crossed. [/quote]
