This study is the older version of the basis for treatment; the new here is a discovery that the whole protocol ought to be reconsidered if there is any chance at all that we may have been drugging our children for no “cure” but only to better satisfy those who deman immediate change.
If the kids will outgrow this, allow it.
That would be a great way to deal with it if it were not for the fact that the child’s future might be completely changed because they are failing in school and constantly getting in trouble for not paying attention and following directions. Waiting for the ‘cure’ may mean throwing away all the child’s opportunities at a decent life.
By the way, I also believe that ADD and ADHD is way over diagnosed. But I have a child who is autistic in every sense of the meaning and there are some similarities between autism and ADD/ADHD that some even put them in the autistic spectrum (again, I don’t agree that these with this grouping of ADD/ADHD with autism, but the similarities are there).
