mandy, good advice, but you can't be with your son 24 hours a day....hence my ultimate conclusion for medication.
adderall may not be the right one...that's trial and error...but it's been around in one form or another for decades and has been proven to work.
i would hate to see my kids ridiculed or in trouble at school cos we witheld meds.
i believe in utilizing all science has to offer, especially if it produces favorable results.
