I have a child who is on medication for attention and hyperactivity and before he was put on a drug we tried all kinds of behavior rituals that were prescibed. It did not work and finally I begged. It worked. Plus he is autistic.

Then my 9 year old cancer survivor suffers from attention deficiet and what a difference in school it makes to have him on medication.

I think ADHD is associated with lots of real problems like autism.

Yup, we are having those issues with my autistic son. He is only 4 now and we are working hard to give him more time for behavioral things to work, but if he continues this even a year or two from now as strong as he is, we will have to do something to control him and at that time we will have to seriously consider medications.
I suppose you've had the "honor" of dealing with autistic rages? Or the insomniac autistic child--argh!
We are expecting another son and I gotta tell you I am downright scared that we will have a repeat with him. It is why we were really hoping for another daughter this time around.
