just thought i would give you abit of back ground on my family as i have called them a disfunctional family,
my oldest daughter is 21 when she was 8ish they decided that she was add brilant a name y she was the way she was doc at time was brillant gave me notes to read as this was new here at the time not many ppl have heard about it she had to be educated in classes with extra help as she also has very big learning dificolties and behavioural problems she was allowed to take ritioin untill she reached 16yrs got her through education she is know on rispradol and tegertol retard these are used to stabalize her moods,
my next child seemed fine untill she was 10yrs old they found out she had dyslexia, she learnt to cope with this and has gone on to collage and hopping to go to uni next year she is now 18yrs
my olny boy is 14yrs but when he was about 3 1/2 noticed that he had some strange habits and behaviours and didnt settle at night we took him to see eldest daughters doc who tested him and diagnosed him with adhd he went on rition by the time he was 5 and the amount of meds we tried to get him to go to sleep was nobodys business we also got him checked out at the age of 7 for dyslexia but he was borderline he doesnt suffer with any learning dificulties when he turned 11 he was afraid ppl would tease him if he was on meds at school so doc tried him on concerta aslo he was put on risprdol for help with sleep for a whole mth im only allowed to give it to him now and again, hes getting there slowly but with our support and school support i think he will make it, my youngest is 11 she has no medical diagnoses but she is allways uo early and hardly sits still for long but its not her interferring with her education so im not worried about her she is very out going unlike the rest
