[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 49136, member: 439"] I have no real words of wisdom for you, NOLA, but wanted to "welcome" you here. My son, too, is gifted/ADD. We had him at a school for gifted kids for 2 years, and your son sounds like most of the kids there. People just don't realize how hard it is for gifted kids to get through school - they don't realize that "gifted" doesn't mean advanced classes, but being taught differently. Add to it an Learning Disability (LD) like ADD, and you've really got a handful. So far, my son hasn't tried to self medicate. But it is one thing I'm constantly on the lookout for. Again, I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions, but hopefully someone will come along who does. [/QUOTE]
