[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a HS magnet kid who is ADD. She won’t ever be a truly top student because we won’t medicate. I’d rather her be closer to average in the program without drugs than be exceptional with drugs.  [/quote]

As someone who was very, very intelligent and was not diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type as an adult... this is just so wrong.  You are messing with HER LIFE and holding her back.  Are you jealous of her potential?  I don't understand why you would not give her the help she needs in to fulfill her potential.

I have a fine life but if I had been able to perform at the capacity that was my potential in high school and college, I would have contributed so much more to society.  I was not diagnosed until after college. I was so burned out then from the struggles that I could not bring myself to go to grad school.  We only have one chance at this life. We get one shot. Why make it harder for her?  Medication is not magic. It still takes work.

You should put yourself in to therapy to figure out why you would hold your child back this way.  Are you a stepparent?  Are you jealous of your child?  What is your deal? [/quote]
