[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 552401, member: 11791"] Depending on the nature of the ADHD... for K1, medications "slow down" the reaction time so that he can stop and THINK before he REACTS - impact on that impulsivity. K2 doesn't have impulsivity. The medications buy her time to "park" the random thoughts that come floating through her brain and distract her from the task at hand... without it, she's gone in a thousand directions and nothing gets done. I really don't think medications "solve" the problem, per se... but they seem to "buy brain-cycles" so that the person has more ability to choose to act differently. Which then reduces problems... AND provides the ability to LEARN to the basic skills that are missing - like "think before you speak" etc. [/QUOTE]
