Well Babyanne, I’m glad to hear that you’ve found a doc that you’re comfortable dealing with the ADHD issue. The ‘quack’ issue is unfortunately out there in so many fields. It’s hard to listen to the derogatory comments about MDs because so many of them are so great to deal with and talk over our issues whether they are ADHD related or just “Hey doc, I’ve got this pain in my knee!”.

I’m a teacher and I’m well aware of the many transgressions of some of my colleagues when it comes to the ADHD issues. I’ve actually got a little task list for me to deal with this weekend and one of them is to ‘relocate’ a website with some videos on it that deal with ADHD/kids/teachers. One of the little videos actually showed what message an ADHD kid might hear instead of the actual one that the teacher gives to the class.

One of my students from last year has been causing a colleague a great deal of consternation and she’s flumoxed by his behaviours. Well, so was I. ‘We’ can be difficult to teach all day long especially when we have a few other special needs students in the same classroom who are not getting proper additional support. (it’s amazing what ‘cheating’ can happen in a school. Bending the rules, so to speak.) :(

Anyway, I’ve got a great pdoc here so I thank my lucky stars. Must go find that website before I forget!
