[QUOTE="DDD, post: 572455, member: 35"] The recurring pattern in your posts, in my humble opinion, is attempting to foresee J's future. Really I do not believe that it is possible to chart his future in black and white anymore than it was possible for you in your 20's to grasp what your life would bring as a "late-in-life" Mother. Life is fluid and each decade of development results in changes on the way to maturity. Compare the specific input given on the French Board that is causing you concern. Figure out which medications the children are taking, what doses seem to be the norm there, what the goal of the stimulant medication is (getting thru the school day is the most common goal in the USA). With close to fifty year experience with medications I have only met a handful of parents who had consistent problems with medication...and some of those were giving medications at the wrong time or in a much higher dose than necessary. You've exploring this topic for well over a year and I think that a fresh look at all the issues "might" lead you to try the "quick in quick out" help that so many of our children have benefitted from. I do not personally believe that it is possible for a little boy to have the strength to go against the pattern of the society and retain personal self worth. J vs. the world is a heavy burden and will lead to lack of self confidence. It's your choice, of course, but I don't see why you are leading to white vs. black. Most of us live in the grey anyway.
