My 12 yo son has Asbergers and ADHD, recently diagnosed. He had an extremely tough time in school last year with several suspensions, failing grades, calls home nearly every day, and may be held back. I have an appointment for him to see a psychiatrist about adhd meds this week, but I'm feeling very apprehensive about putting him on meds. He's so young, and I'm worried about long term effects of medication. Please share your thoughts and experiences. I need some other viewpoints. Thank you.
