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.
There is a huge push to diagnose children with ADHD and many do not have anything more than a very active and lively nature that teachers would prefer to be toned down rather than accepting their job may be a bit more challenging.
They tried to diagnose my own son years ago with ADHD and I refused to allow them to put him on medicine. today? He is fine! How did I know he wasn't ADHD? He was very hyper active but he was also a chess champion. If that isn't attention abundance I don't know what is. So do not worry too much about this but rather google some stories about the overmedicating of our youth today.
