[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 320400, member: 1514"] I have a kid (now an adult child) who was "just adhd" with no other co-morbid disorder. He acted in kindergarten and first grade pretty much like you describe your son. He was constantly on the go, never sitting still, talking constantly, class clown, silly, fast, running, impulsive, etc. When he was on his "wiggle medicine" he was night and day. He could sit and listen. He could write neatly. He could learn. It certainly didnt dull him though. He was still our happy, funny, comical little boy. Even on the medications, he was still running laps at recess. He still wanted to do all the sports and other very active outdoor things. He never wanted to be an indoor kid. He has grown up now to be quite successful in my opinion. He graduated HS and entered the Marine Corps at 17. He became a Military Policeman in the Corps. After serving for 4 years in there he got out in early 2007 and got a job working for the Sheriffs Dept in a county in VA as an Animal Control Officer. He has been there since then and he is now about to enter the police acadamy this January so he can get the training to become the Chief of Animal Control. He is next in line. He is married with two young kids and owns his own house. He is 25. Not bad for the wiggly little boy who didnt understand why kids had to go to school 20 years ago! [/QUOTE]
