What are the pros and cons of medication?
Asking for my step son

My 2 older boys do cuz it was interfering with them being able to sit down and focus at school but they are also Autistic and my 7 year old had ODD also. So, it definitely helps. When they are lil older I do plan to take them off of it but as of now no cuz they still struggle with handling it.

@keeks89,
Has the school brought it to her attention? I waited till the school actually started calling me and telling me that they was not focusing and such like that.

@autism.mommy, yes! This has been an issues since he was in 2nd grade! He’s in fourth now and she still refuses to do anything about it. She thinks the medication is bad for him but he needs it so bad

Yes, I would definitely bring it up and if she fails can you use it against her in court for neglect. She knows he’s struggling and failing to get the proper help he needs.

My 14 year old son is on Adderall. I fought against medication for far longer then I should. I greatly regret taking an anti-medication stance. It was affecting every aspect of our lives. It’s not fun to not like your kid.

@keeks89, anyways. Hugs to your husband and everyone else. I know this struggle so well.

oh no I didn’t mean you didn’t love your kid! . I had to put that in because you know people on here take things out of context lol. But I totally understand what your saying! I found myself in that same position as well but after I had my son I was able to learn to try to understand what was going on with him. But getting his mom to get on board with things is tough. She’s in denial for the most part and just labels him as a bad kid but he’s not!

oh I know that! I was just saying it for the Karen’s out there who might read this and try to infer I don’t love my kids 😉

My older ones have it but I took them off meds yrs ago they need to learn how to deal with it and not depend on meds because they just use that as a excuse to act dumb imo plus it’s bad for there organs
