The problem is, it is over diagnosed. So there are kids that I have met that are diagnosed with it and are just wiggly, and then there are kids (and adults) that I have met that actually have it.
My son and Husband both have it...... and they work on keeping it together and focus. My husband was given med's as a kid and it didn't work well for him.
With my son, every Doctor, specialist and teacher (and the occasional grandma in the supermarket) that has seen him has said, "He has ADHD." None have ever suggested med's (Ok, a couple of the grandmas did
. He has come up with some coping strategies that work..... you know what they say, if it works don't break it! We also have him in a Tae kwon do class, and we are very strict about bedtime and sleep.
I think med's are right for some people, I have met kids that have had there lives transformed. But I have also met those wiggly kids that are given the meds .... the ones that didn't really need them and they are like zombies.
So.................. could I get more in the middle of the road?
