Miguel, I’m sorry your ADHD meds created other problems for you!
Auntie Jane, I understand your concerns. From everything I’ve read in the last 13 years or so, ADHD is usually diagnosed when kids enter Grade 1, as that’s the first time they have a really structured school experience.
Not sure where you live, and I know some places have some really whacky ideas. In the state of Florida they actually let TEACHERS decide if a child has ADHD and if the family won’t drug the child the state removes the child from the home.
Perhaps if you let us know where you live somebody in the forums could direct you to a reputable clinic/doctor in your area.
Good luck!
