mich-

We decided to try the non-stimulants first because DS has significant issues staying focused for homework in the evenings. I work and he goes to an after school program, then we typically have soccer or baseball practice....so homework doesn't happen until later in the evening, when stimulants will have worn off. We are trying Intuniv now, but we may go to a stimulant if this one doesn't work.
