Exactly. That's my thought on DS as well. But I think worst case scenrio that will happen is you get a mis-diagnosis of ADHD and try meds. You do not see much or any difference. You stop meds. If you do the ADHD dianosis privately the school will never know and it won't be in any records. If a "normal" kid takes ADHD meds for a month or two as a trial, but they don't really have ADHD, I really doubt that any permanent harm will be done. I have been tempted to give DS some of DD's meds just to see what happens, but of course I'm not going to do that.
Thanks this is good advice and reassuring. I think this is exactly how I will proceed privately.
