Thanks everyone for your input. We are seeing the paediatrician this afternoon, and I am going to try to push for a trial before the end of school, or if not, during the summer. Your comments are all very helpful.

Perplexed -- is there a specific reason you are starting with the non-stimulants? I thought most doctors started with stimulants first. I'll ask our doctor about this too.

I guess I should be feeling good that I finally have a diagnosis that fits, and a plan to go forward, but right now I simply feel worn down by worry and sad for my son.
