I am an adult with adhd. my mother tried to ignore what was wrong with me and it was detrimental for both of us.
Im so glad you have had your child properly assessed and have a good diagnosis, now you can help him.

medicating children feels wrong for many parents but often it is giving a gift to your child. some peace. it can feel manic and out of control at times.
the meds may start acting fast or take a few weeks. I hope you will notice soon.
have a search online and read up about the meds on offer pros and cons of each so you can keep a close eye on him and how he is.
ritalin has had a lot of bad press but when it works well its great.

thank you for giving your son a chance at a good life
