It appears my eldest son has ADHD.
I was pretty active when young, BUT never diagnosed.
A bit let down, a bit scared, etc.
Anyone have experience with anything like this?
I know it's NOT uncommon AND I know if it can help him focus, learn, etc. it should be on the table, BBBUUUTTT it's still a bit much too handle on top of the rest of life.

- My 15yr old son was diagnosed with ADHD recently too. We were wary of meds but they are really helping him with school.mort_
- It’s a tough road though. His personality traits can require a lot of patience on our end, which isn’t always in great supply.mort_
