Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi, My name is Donna, I'm 48 and have 2 sons 6 and 3. My 6 year old was just diagnosed on Thursday with ADHD. He's been having ongoing behavioral issues at school, and to a lesser extent at home. I've been trying to get help for him since before kindergarten, when he began exhibiting OCD symptoms with excessive hand-washing. Everyone kept telling me that each thing I expressed a concern about was simply a phase. For me it was too coincidental. At least finally we know what we're dealing with. He was put on Strattera, and I've been doing some reading and have changed the way we're handling some things and are seeing some improvement. I've ordered a couple of books from Amazon, The Gift of ADHD, and Cory Stories, so I can learn how to help him develop his strengths, and also to give him the language to express what he is feeling, and to know he's not the only child in the world that feels like this. I'm here for fellowship, and to learn from wiser parents than myself how to help my son have the kind of life I want for him. Thanks!
