My son is 2E and compensated for his ADHD until 7th grade. We tried counseling which had no impact on his behavior, or grades.
As soon as took the smallest dose of stimulant, prescribed by a neurologist/psychiatrist, he noticed an immediate difference. For the first time, he was able to watch a football being thrown to him without looking away. I wished we had consulted with a psychiatrist sooner.
A good doctor will monitor side effects closely and adjust for changes in body weight/height. It's all about what works best for your child.
