[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 132693, member: 805"] Good Morning Jamie and welcome to the board. You have gotten three responses to your first post and I think that's enough information for you to process right now. I think that your little one is still very young. Early intervention is a great thing - but having your family doctor diagnosis him in minutes does not sound like the way to go. Take a deep breath! First I suggest you remove your last name from your profile. This site is read world-wide and it is for your and your family's protection that you not reveal your real identity. Second, go over and read a little on the early childhood board (for those with children under five) and read a little on the naturual treatment board. I must tell you that I resisted medications for about a year and a half. It came to the point for us, that difficult child could not give what was being asked of him and that was not fair. It made it extremely difficult for him in school. When he started medications in first grade, it was night and day! Sometimes it takes a little while to get the right medication and right dosage, bit it gets there. Additionally, I just have one question for you. Does your son attend preschool or daycare? I can tell you that I don't medicate my son, even at 12 1/2, if it is summer or school holidays. The reason for the medications was so that he could experience success in controlled enviornments. When he's home, it's ok if he's a little hyper and impulsive - I can take it. It is where he is judged and required to maintain that the medications are for. And, my son does have severe adhd-highly impulsive/combined type - pretty serious on the adhd scale. medications are a decision each family has to make on their own. I would continue doing just what you are doing now. Read, read, read! Read the other boards on this site. In the meantime, when you have time today, please go ahead and remove your last name and do a profile signature like you see at the bottom of our posts. Give us a little overview of the family - other sibs, marital status, any family history of adhd or mental illness, etc. Again, welcome to the site. I know you will find fabulous support and some great advice. Sharon [/QUOTE]
