[QUOTE="Lil, post: 667181, member: 17309"] I did take my son to a psychologist when he was little, like 3, and he spent 20 minutes alone with him and then told me he was ADHD and to put him on Ritalin. Why? Because he looked at the door every time there was a noise. Imagine that - a kid taken from his mom into a room he's never been in before looks at the door whenever someone walks by - shocking huh? Obviously, I got a second opinion with a psychiatrist who talked with me for 1/2 hour while my son quietly put puzzles together in the corner, and then told me if we put him on Ritalin we'd be peeling him off the ceiling! There was no ADHD there. I was advised he was never going to be "easy" and that he needed more socialization and structure...and that drugs might help him focus, but he didn't recommend them. Even after that, I had to go to the first guy again to get a paper signed to have him in the pre-k program thru the school system and he STILL told me I was wasting my time trying alternatives to medication! Quack. [/QUOTE]
