Re: RSS & ADDH - MAGIC Convention

[Guest guest]

Jodie - I haven't been on line in 3 weeks but just saw your email

when I popped in to scan. You are correct (as Jodi wrote) that

physicians do feel there is an increased risk for ADD/ADHD and

autism-line disorders for RSS and SGA children. Whether it is

inherent, or a result of undiagnosed hypoglycemia, we don't yet know.

I did want to let you know that there are many parents in your same

boat, and with our children's lack of appetite, and the effect of

many ADD/ADHD meds minimizing appetite as a side effect, we have

unique problems!

FYI -- At this summer's MAGIC convention, we have scheduled a well-

known psych. and published author, Dr. Tom Phelan, who will speak to

the ADD/ADHD child. We will then also have several endocrinologists

who will also answer any medical questions.

Just to add to 's message about the convention...Dr. Phelan

wrote a great book called " One, Two, Three, Magic. " I read it and

used the ideas with my kids. Especially Max. And I used it in a

different way with my students at school. I strongly recommend that

if you are attending the convention this summer, you should read the

book before you go. It's easy to read and the sections are short

enough that you can put it down and go back to it again easily. I

bought mine at Amazon.com.
