I agree. Then again, different doctors will give you different diagnosis's. So it's our job to make sure they identify correctly, and that they don't get lost in the system.

As for a good book (I'm in the middle of like three right now...) Try Driven to Distraction by Edward Hallowell (I identify with this through myself, my brother, and my sons. It explains a lot of how they think and why they do what they do.), I'm Okay, You're a Brat! by Susan Jeffers (this one let me know I was ok with some of my thoughts and feelings, and it deals with 'normal' only), and Chicken Soup for the Special Needs Child (just inspirational).

And we should write our own books. I doubt if any of us actually have the time though. I write articles every now and again, so perhaps I can put them all together into a book one day. ;)

Hi, You say in your first post that Ritalin put your son in the hospital...What happened? How was his behavior on Ritalin? What did the hospital do?

How was your meeting with the school?
