You must not have read anything I had to say.
My son is an adult now. We already did what we thought best, thank you. And it worked out wonderfully! He has held a job since he was 14 years old. He graduated with a 3.4 GPA from High School. He is now in College. Without any accomodations, he recieved a 1020 on his SAT's. Not bad, considering his "normal" sister got 980.
He started taking himself off his medication, so that he will be able to serve his country, in the military, when he graduates.
I think we did everything just right. I am so glad I never listened to the naysayers, mockers and psuedo-intellectuals who try to marginalize the kids like my son; and demean us for following the best course of action to enable our children to be self-supporting, contributing citizens of this society.
I must say, in my life I have have met many, many people who think they know everything and love to tell other people how wrong they are....but your arrogant assumption that you have far more experience than a person you know absolutely nothing about, takes the cake! You know nothing of my family, my friends, my social work, my employment history. You have no idea what my experiences are. You have no idea of my own handicaps, now do you?
Yet, I must tell you, you reveal much about yourself in a post like that.
Let me make it very simple for you then- I never spoke about your son's case- of course you are one of the people who has a real honest to goodness child with ADHD. I did suggest that there are alternatives to drugs- and labels and that not all of the children who have been labeled with ADD and ADHD actually have any disease other than being a genius ( you call that marginalizing them...) That fact has apparently has gotten you very upset.
I have always said that yes- there are a small percentage of children who really do have it.
So calm down- you are one of the real cases of ADHD! (*sigh*)
