[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 266492, member: 1550"] She DOES have an auditory processing disorder. Would this cause ADD symptoms? So far everyone who has evaluated her says she doesn't have ADD. For a kid who doesn't have ADD, she's awfully spacey :raspberry-tounge: I am very worried about misuse of ADHD drugs. I can't help it since my other daughter didn't even take the medications, but she abused them. They are very "hot" on the street. Plus this daughter is adopted and her birthfather is a drug addict. I'm afraid she has a predisposition to addiction so I don't want to start. She's almost thirteen...in my opinion a bad age to introduce stimulants. And I haven't heard of Straterra really helping anyone much. I'd prefer she stay drug free. She is doing well in life, except that her grades could be a lot better. She is Learning Disability (LD) and gets extra help...sometimes it's not enough. And, then, being almost thirteen and the most social kid I've had yet, she often has her mind on things other than school too... [/QUOTE]
