[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 335496, member: 3704"] Andy, Thanks for the update. I agree it all sounds quite productive. Your psychiatrist sounds like a good one. Our easy child was on ritalin for quite a few years. It was quite the "miracle" drug for him but I will warn you that the rebound was rough at times. He decided to stop the medication when he was 14, and we respected his decision. Honestly, though, I keep hoping that he will find his way back to it or a similar medication. He is the "poster boy" for ADD - both charming and infuriating. I think his life would be more calm and even keeled if he took this medication again. by the way both easy child and difficult child have the "hyperfocus" that you mention. It is really a hallmark of the spectrum (and ADD is part of the spectrum). I do think that there are ways to nuture that focus and use it in productive ways - certainly later in life! I know that you are pleased to have some answers and a treatment plan. Please let us know how everything goes... Valerie [/QUOTE]
