[Not Insane]

From the article:

"Jacobs acknowledged that many parents would disagree with him. Parents tend to believe what has become the mainstream view, in part because the drugs prescribed for ADHD do work in that they make the child more docile and more compliant.

'The child's not getting into trouble at school any more. The child's easier to manage at home, so we say, well this is great, it works.'

Also, parents struggling with a behavior problem were made to feel better. Instead of feeling inadequate as parents, they felt they were now struggling with a sick child and doing the best they could."

Well, this parent believes what he knows from experience.

'The child's not getting into trouble at school any more. The child's easier to manage at home, so we say, well this is great, it works.'

I only wish medication had solved that. For the record, when he started puberty, it stopped working and we stopped giving it to him. We're still contending with the ADHD issues now that he's heading to high school.
