[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP to an extent. While grandparents who don't get on the ADHD bandwagon and support you in the way you hope to be supported, there is a bonus to having a grandparent or friend who will treat your kid as "the fun guy" or the "boundless energy" or "different drummer" kid. We hid some of the details of my child's testing and diagnosis. They overheard us talking about a detail in the day that only is for kids with disabilities and it was hard. (My son got a bus to preschool because he was there on an IEP, whereas my other kid was driven to preschool, so we discussed logistics and they went "hmmmm"). The fact my mom does not buy the ADHD/sensory/anxiety stuff means their relationship is not the same as other grandparent/grandchild relationships (no sleepovers, for example). Small price to pay. BTW, we have 2 kids w/attention issues. Medication is right for one, and not for the other. Do you![/quote]
