He is dx with both Asperger's and ADHD so they may not be as beneficial to all kids. His attentional difficulties are truly the biggest obtacle to him academically although the medication also helps him behaviorally. He has much better impulse control and also tolerates frustration better on the medication than off. I am glad to hear that studies seem to be indicating that the medication is safe.

We knew within hours that the medications were not going to work for her and stopped them. We tried a few other times when she was older with no luck. Those medications are in and out of the system quite quickly. I would not have much fear of them causing genetic damage if she did take them. ADHD medications never worked for M either.
