Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 My name is Sheila and I have recently been bombarded (or so it seems) by pediatricians, O.T.'s, S.T.'s, psychologists, counselors, and teachers in the past year. My oldest son(5) was diagnosed with ADD and my youngest (3) was diagnosed with ASD. I have a middle child who hasn't been diagnosed with anything yet and I'm not looking to anytime in the near future. All the information that has been given to me is staggering. My youngest is in therapy sessions four times a week and the oldest, well so far everyone wants to medicate him. I however feel there must be some other way to cope with this, for me and him. I am looking for any and all advice concerining these two disorders and anyones personal opinion on what has worked for them. The drug they want to put my son on is strattera and its terrifying to read all the horrible things this could do to such a young child. So anyone who has walked this path before me please share your thoughts and experiences, at this point all they can do is help. Thank you all so much.
