Keep an open mind SBmom, talk to professionals, get second opinions and read all you can. So many people will tell you drugs are the answer or that you should never medicate. Once you have all the info and apply it to your child you should have a good sense of what you want to attempt. My oldest son is ADD. He has been on different meds and we are believers. There are some new, non addictive meds that are now most doctor's first line of treatment. For my son, once he was on the right dose of the right medication, many of the ADD symptoms really faded. He went from being disinterested and disorganized in community college classes far too easy for him to an A science student at UCSD. We tried many things over the years. Really, for us, it was all about the meds.
