Our son has been evaluated for ADHD through the school twice, one eval said no, the following yr. eval said yes he has ADHD/ADD of the combined type. We followed up by taking him to a Community Programs office where they said they would give him medications but could offer nothing by way of behavior development skills. So far the only options that have been thrown at us are meds. and there seems to be a lack of any other type of alternative or support. It is my opinion that our son does display symptoms that could be diagnosed as ADHD but they also could be many other things. He is not a problem child, he is not in trouble all the time, he gets A's and B's in school. He does have issues with impulsivity and inappropriate behavior at times and is very active. He definitely does better in an active learning environment rather than a sedentary one. There are times when he over-reacts to bullies-but he has been dealing with issues where there is not a lot of support from adult staff in dealing with them, and no counseling support to help him deal with his frustration at the issue, so is this ADHD, or simply a boy who is fed up with being bullied and is now taking actions to defend himself? I am getting very frustrated with the lack of options. We work very hard with our children to teach them good behavior and accountability. Our son definitely has issues that we could use some help with, but I am not convinced that medication is the answer. First I would like more information, and a better answer than a "best guess". I would not be completely apposed to medication either; I would just like to see more alternatives and tools to help us.
