[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 405154, member: 1514"] Hon, I have 3 boys with some issues of one sort or the other. My middle son is pure and simple ADHD. Ritalin was his bestest friend in the world. Your son sounds so much like him. My son was the perfect baby. A dream come true. Slept well, ate well, met all his milestones way ahead of schedule. We noticed he was much more active from about 15-18 months because he was running wide open by then and he never stayed still. He was never the boy who would plop down in front of the TV. He learned to ride a two wheeler on his third birthday without training wheels. He just picked up his older brothers bike and took off on it. He was one who got up at dawn and fell asleep as soon as it got dark. He was the kid who wasnt destructive on purpose but might break something because he simply didnt think through his actions. Such as...oh, maybe it isnt such a good thing to toss a ball in the house when the ceiling fan is on! The fan it the ball straight through the window! He had a very hard time when he started school because he simply didnt understand why anyone would expect little boys to want to sit still in little desks all day long. He thought it was some kind of torture. In Kindergarten he could never sit still. He would walk around the classroom constantly but he always understood what they were attempting to teach. In first and part of second grade he had a harder time but then he finally figured it out. He also was the class clown. His grades were never perfect but for the most part he did because work until HS when he went off ritalin. Now he is a pretty successful adult. He set his sights on becoming a US Marine from the time he was young. He never got into major trouble either at home or in the community so that he could obtain his goal. He graduated HS. He went into the Marines in 2003. Became a MP. Served 4 years in there and came out, married his wife Billie Jean. He now works as an Animal Control officer with the sheriff's department in VA, is going to the police academy there, has 2 kids and is buying his first home. He is still ADHD but he has learned to compensate for it and takes no medication. [/QUOTE]
