    I myself was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4, I am now 38 years old. Alot of things that know now, they didn't back then, like the longterm damage that is done by taking these medications and how they can set you up to be an easy target to become an addict. I am living proof of that. Now my oldest child has ADD and my yougest is extremely ADHD! She has been medicated since school age, but I knew before that, but she was still too young to put on it. Once she started school we had to because she couldn't sit still at all of keep her mouth shut. She does great now and is in advanced classes.

    My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and I happy to say the school picked up on it right away since kindergarten (with her medical doctor & psychologist) - now she has more of the attention issues and not so much the acting out. I was amazed of the help her school has provided her to keep her at the same level as the other kids - even though she needs extra help and attends some smaller classes through the day she seems to be doing much better. I am stilling playing with the medication to find the right fit - that is never easy.
    Thanks for sharing - it is always good to know u r not alone.

    Wonderful lens, lensrolling to my "how to help a child with ADHD do homework" lens. My son is 9 and has ADHD as well as an 85% hearing loss. We dealt with the small town school issues also, no one should have to fight so hard, but I'm glad you did. There are too many parents that don't fight hard enough. When we moved to a bigger school system things changed for us for the better. My son is also on concerta, it has been great. I'm glad your son is doing better, it's amazing how much they can make up when given the right tools.
