Guest guest Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi all!! My six year old daughter was recently diagnosed with ADD in addition to her standing diagnosis of autism. Her doctor was leaning heavily toward Ritalin, but I am incredibly wary of stimulants for young children. After arguing with me for some time about it, he finally wrote her a prescription for Intuniv. I have really resisted medication, preferring to treat DD from a holistic standpoint, but I feel like my back is against a wall regarding school. While my daughter is doing fantastic from a social standpoint, her grades are suffering from her lack of focus. Anyone out there have any thoughts on Intuniv? Have you used it and has it worked well? I've read a lot about it but I am more interested in hearing first hand testimony from parents. Thanks everybody!
