Okay, I'm off........don't wanna be late for the doc! Just annual ADHD recheck. We're going to ask if DS can have a time-release Ritalin this year, so he doesn't have that lag midday in middle school.
I don't know when, or if, he'll outgrow the need for it. We don't have him on it in summer and I've worked with him some..........poor kid takes on average 10 minutes a sentence to write. That's just in my classroom........no TV, no other kids.....he just can't keep his mind on it.
The LPC and the dr. that diagnosed him said he was the most severe they've ever seen. And he wasn't diagnosed until 2nd grade. They said for him to have been doing so well academically and behaviorally, that he'd been giving 110 percent. Made me feel kind of bad that we'd been asking of him almost more than he could give.
Not one of my finest hours.
