New here.
My son got an official diagnosis this week.
But, it's been pretty clear for a while - to us and to others - for some years. He's 7. I'll have the summer to put together a plan with the various medical practitioners. I definitely believe in therapeutic training (for the parents too). The drugs scare me (speed for kids?) but I know they are widely and extensively studied for decades.

A dear friend of my husband's said "Don't put him on the meds, I hated the meds and they made me feel terrible."
A church friend of mine said "Resist when they tell you to put him on meds. I felt terrible on the meds".
Truly passionate pleas, unsolicited.
Since those guys were taking meds in the late 70s and early 80s, I wonder if the formulations and dosages were not refined. Still, it's in my mind.

So, glad to hear from the parents who say their kids are pleased with the results, in addition to the adults being pleased.

I'll be back, but do appreciate the honest posts here.
