re: #829 SanFranciscoZionist

If you need to medicate, really, you’ll know it. I’ve had kids on meds, and kids off. Better to try without, first, and if it works, it works.

Thank you for this comment, SFZ. My son is on meds. Several of them and he needs them to be able to function in a school setting. (His physician is a neurologist BTW.) The situation is hardly perfect but I’d rather he be able to learn than not. Even with meds we are in daily (yes, daily. Maybe every other day in a really really good week) contact with the school staff & teachers. Some days we are in touch multiple times, even with a med regimen.

I am glad to hear of your child’s success, but I do hope you don’t automatically assume that it’s always going to be that way for everyone.
