My DS is a lot younger, but we have this fight with the O-3's too. He doesn't have an official dx, but responds favorably to the O-3's.
I would approach it from a health stand point. O-3's are good for everyone, I myself take them, on the suggestion of DS's psych, he said it would refill my brain of all the O3's I lost gestating and nursing twins.
anyways, I havent yet parented an older child yet, so I'm not sure that would even work, just thought I would throw it out there.
Could you also make a case that its better than taking an ADHD rx? (I'm not against ADHD medications at all, just in favor of trying other things first.)
