MWM, it very very much IS that easy. I know you were super afraid of stims, but for those that need them, they are a miracle. Fast in, fast out, you know if they will work very fast, unlike medications for other conditions that need to be at a high enough level for weeks until you know if they will work.
The first time Wiz took a stimulant it was just before a soccer game. EVERYONE at the game, both teams, parents, ref, they ALL were amazed at the change in him. My mother SWORE we were just medicating him because we didn't want to bother with appropriate parenting. So when we visited her I waited to give him his medications until we were out at a restaurant for breakfast. Her eyes got so big, she was totally shocked at the change and it happened over a few minutes right before her eyes. As we left I pulled her aside and said "THAT is why he is on medications. NOT because I don't want to "bother" to parent him." Later I got a very heartfelt apology and she worked hard to earn the trust she had lost with her accusations.
When stims are the appropriate medicine, they are amazing. I realize that some people will always say that they are a crutch, or are given because people don't want to discipline a child, or whatever, but it just isn't true. I am THRILLED that Jumper is getting the help she needs from the medications. She will be able to learn in ways she never could before - it opens up a whole lot of things in her future!
