[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 461788, member: 135"] That's something I've worried about. Mother is severely bipolar; father is borderline. Father was ADHD, difficult child and who knows what. It's a wonder these kids can function at all. Their older daughter caught a break; she is very bright and they put her in the gifted classs as soon as she hit kindergarten. Has some of her Grandma's stubbornness but that's not all bad. Their youngest appears to be doing OK too. But this kid has had problems from the get-go. Didn't talk for a long time; still doesn't talk plain. Does occupational therapy as he is a little "clumsy." Mom had problems during the pregnancy (bleeding, bed rest, hospitalization, etc.). I was in the delivery room when this one was born and the doctor looked at my daughter in law and said, "Here's our miracle baby." I think maybe they thought she'd never carry him to term. So I'm thinking there could be some birth defect, brain damage, etc. He is a cute kid and I think he will get by but I'm sure school is going to be hard for him no matter what. I just wonder if this kind of medication is something he needs, or if it is just a stab in the dark. I guess as long as there are no strong drug reactions, maybe it is worth a try. [/QUOTE]
