[QUOTE="Malika, post: 533498, member: 11227"] For the moment he is learning fine without medications - likes school and does well (but in a tiny school with a dedicated teacher). I am reasonably sure he would have more friends, and more social acceptance, if he were less hyperactive and less impulsive. At the same time, presumably that is true of, for example, people who are very shy, or don't have a sense of humour - and we don't talk about medicating them to remove their social handicaps. Honestly, this isn't some anti-medications stance I'm taking. It's really just that I know ethically I couldn't allow myself to do it just to make MY life easier. [/QUOTE]
