[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 749286, member: 4040"] My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, heavy on the H, at about that age. She had trouble with friends, difficulties with school, I got regular phone calls about her behavior ( Phone rings, I answer..."Hi, Mary, it's Chris." "Hi, Chris, what did she do?") We had her tested at school, she went briefly to therapy...I say briefly because she seemed to be quite unaware of the havoc she left in her wake. Self awareness was not her strong suit. We endured, through junior high and high school and college, until she chose to attend a college 800 miles away. She has matured into a delightful young lady, though there are still holes in the wall in her old room, no bedroom door because she tore it off the hinges and threw it at me, and I'm missing tiles on my kitchen counter from a tantrum over mac-n-cheese. She is a college graduate, works full time, has been married nearly 6 years, and seems to be doing well. There is hope. It sounds like your doctor is willing to work with you, and I hope the medications help him. [/QUOTE]
