[Oh Haha]

I have to chime in on the ADHD/ADD topic.

My son was diagnosed a few years ago. Our pediatrician recommended meds to help. I was NOT ok with this but agreed to try.

They made a huge difference once we found the right ones.

In the past 5months we have reduced him from 3 pills a day(am,pm, and evening) to just one for school hours. He's not an "A" student by any means but his grades and personality has been improved greatly.

I have been mentoring a small group of 5th graders at his school and I can tell which ones could benefit from additional help from meds. I keep this to myself, though.

Like others here, I would have been diagnosed had it been around at the time.

Thanks for allowing me to share this.
