Greenlotus - medication absolutely works for our inattentive type DD
MumOfThree and Blackcat-
A big concern for our family is the size of our daughter and the issue of meds and appetite. It's a real concern as she is very tiny and only in the 20th percentile for weight. The psychologist is going to do behavioral work with her to see how that works before trying medication. I just finished reading an article about gifted kids and ADHD, inattentive type, and it made me wonder if we should not revisit the idea about meds. DD may be grade accelerated and face more need for executive functioning skills.
