[QUOTE="Fran, post: 209009, member: 3"] Hi Mary, Welcome to our world. I have a son who functions marginally. He does ok but is not able to manage like his peer group. Do you think there is a recreational drug issue? I wouldn't consider medications until she has an accurate evaluation and diagnosis. Ritalin is very effective if used in the right situation. It's a disaster if it is given to someone with diagnosis that is not treatable with a stimulant. Getting a thorough evaluation by a psychiatrist or clinically trained psychologist could go a long way to helping your daughter if she wants it. Our kids tend to be a bit like an onion. Many layers of issues that have to be peeled back to find the core. Hopefully we can share our experiences and offer some suggestions and a lot of support. [/QUOTE]
