My older son’s school and pediatrician wanted to put my son on Adderall at age 8.
I refused, withdrew him from school and homeschooled him. He WAS extremely energetic and active but it just meant creative schooling with lots of hands on activities and lots of breaks.
By high school he had no problem sitting through a day of classes and concentrating, dual enrolling in college. At 30, he is a project manager for a major company with his own crew and accounts and doing very well.
Ignoring those teachers and docs was the best thing I ever did!
Excellent! Your son really never had ADD then. Glad you figured that out.
