[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 18443, member: 2315"] I resisted medicating my difficult child until he was doing so poorly in school that we were halfway into the year and he had been sent to support on disiplinary every day but one. SD was pushing really really hard for ritilin. I realized that although he proved he could do well in a contained classroom with proper support and supervision and a "whole Class teaching technique" the SD was not going to provide that. Back then we were not allowed to home school so I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I saw difficult child's self esteem going down the tubes. I gave in. difficult child was put on medications for ADHD in the third grade. I still think he is a misdiagnosed indivitual who is somewhere on the autism spectrum. I do not believe that two year olds should be medicated to the point of lathargy. I'm not even sure I believe they should be medicated at all. -RM [/QUOTE]
