Reply #7: It's not like that at all. [View All]

As the parent of a child with ADHD, I would appreciate you not making such an unwarranted judgment. My son struggled mightily to focus on tasks in the classroom. His sensory systems craved stimulation, resulting in him twirling around incessantly, jabbering constantly, and being a general disruption.

After starting on some of these drugs, he INSTANTLY improved. He's able to focus on the tasks at hand. His grades are outstanding - top of the class. He's now finishing 1st grade and reading at a 5th grade level. Most importantly, he's fitting in with his peers and making friends much more easily. It took a few weeks to find the right drug, and the right dosage, but now that we're there, it's making all the difference in the world.

And the best part? He's just as much of a rebel as he always was, and continues to question my authority. I swear he'll make a great lawyer, always looking for loopholes. He's the same kid, my wonderful little boy.
