[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 357447, member: 1991"] That does not necessarily follow. I've always believed, and I saw a doctor on TV say this today (again) - if ADHD medications work on your child to help him focus, then it's almost certainly ADHD (or has an ADHD component). If the medications don't work, it reduces the chances of it being ADHD. medications have a paradoxic effect on kids with ADHD - they work! Give these medications to you or I, they pep us up. Give them to a kid with ADHD, they steady them. I'm really concerned at the weaning off of Concerta, but still expecting things to not go pear-shaped at school. The fact that things ARE likely to go pear-shaped with the reduced Concerta, is a big red flag for me, that stimulant medications are needed therefore ADHD should still be on the table. Doesn't mean it's the only thing, though. Remember, my kids have ADHD plus the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Marg [/QUOTE]
