I had a meeting with my son's teacher's and school psychologist, and they recommended I take him to a pediatrician that specializes in ADHD etc to be tested for ADHD. Many of you have might already know I have had my son in special programs since before he was two, and that they had diagnosed him with a sensory perception disorder when all this first started.
II have read some on it, but not a lot. The whole thing is scary at this point, for one I have no clue how I feel about medication, how to treat it, and even the diagnoses of ADHD. Feedback, recommendations, stories would be great. Thanks.
Be very careful.....there is a reason mostly boys are on these drugs. It should be called chemical babysitter cause what it does is make you feel slow and zombie like....How do I know this? Cause some 30 years ago I had to take these drugs cause the teachers couldnt handle boys. Attention deficit disorder just mean the teacher doesn't have the attention to to give the student and the deficit causes her class to be in disorder.....
Self control. This is something the boy needs to learn. Most definitely before you put him on amphetamines that are damn dangerous to his heart. These drugs are not aspirin even if the teachers use them as such. They are controlled substances....They are illegal to posses without a prescription and now ask yourself do you really want your son to take that twice a day every day?
