[QUOTE="sweetgem, post: 417890, member: 11569"] Thats comforting to hear. Thanks Janet. So often you only hear stories from parents whose children are a similar age to your own. That has been the biggest draw back for me - the fear of the later effects of medication. I had to laugh when I hear your son is military/ policing focussed. I too am a police officer and have had a very successful career and yet I too am ADHD!! I often think my quick thinking brain, huge energy levels and my ability to "multi task" has gotten me to where I am today. I was never medicated, but I was more the "withdrawn" type as a kid. My son is quite out there and therefore his behaviours are more problematic at school. I appreciate your candour. Thanks very much again :happy: [/QUOTE]
