Thanks for sharing that, most people do not realize that it is not a matter of the drug, but what happens without it. Right now people look at us weird because we 'want' to drug our child. They are stupid to think that this is something we
want to do, it is out of necessity! Which is better - a child that grows up not being able to have even a primary level
education or some Ritalin for a few years until they are able to focus and stabilize.
You are on the money about a proper diagnosis, we had a psychiatrist and a neuro specialist look at him and both gave the same diagnosis after Felipe almost destroyed their office.
I
used to be one who would judge parents harshly for their kids behavior, but not anymore. I am however able to recognize parents who simply do not teach their kids as opposed to those kids who cannot learn well - and that is the main point in the equation.
