[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 98063, member: 1550"] What type of professional diagnosed your son? Did he have intensive evaluating? I admit I"m not a fan of throwing stims at kids without making darn sure they have ADHD and not a mimicker. Our first diagnosis. was ADHD/ODD, but it was wrong and we had our son on many stims...I don't want others to make our mistakes...Recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation or seeing a Developmental Pediatrician (or both). It's hard to rightly diagnose very young kids. Even adults get misdiagnosed. This is an inexact science. ODD rarely stands by itself. ADHD looks a lot like high functioning autism and/or early onset bipolar. I wouldn't touch medications until this child was completely tested. The wrong medications can make him worse. [/QUOTE]
