[QUOTE="Malika, post: 414856, member: 11227"] Your son sounds as though he has had to deal (and you with him, of course) with so many difficulties... and is coming through. Who knows - maybe one day my son will be on medication and I will be grateful for what it does for him... At the moment, it's just not at that point of urgent necessity. Though, like I have said, the idea of a medication that will make him quiet and "unobtrusive" is tempting sometimes :-) What puzzles me about the hyperactivity (in all cases? Or just my son's?) is that it varies, depends on the situation. For example, yesterday we went to the opthalmologist. In the waiting room, it was my version of mini-purgatory.... Various other children who look around J's age are sitting quietly (for the most part) on the chairs. J is rolling around on the floor, running in and out, singing loudly and then - which gets me stress and dishevelled - starts playing with light switches and does not stop until I get really cross with him. Then he is lying on the floor crying loudly. It was late in the afternoon, after school, and he was very tired, which of course always makes things worse. Anyway, after 20 minutes of this calvary (why aren't medical appointments like formal dinner invitations - 5.30 for 6.00?!), we go into the doctor's office where for the next 20 minutes J sits stock still on the chair, doing all the things the doctor asks like a perfectly compliant, wonderfully behaved child... IF there is something in his brain that is making him move all the time, surely it would be in operation in all circumstances? [/QUOTE]
