Forced emasculation is a better solution and if necessary, feminization is the answer to the behavior issues most young boys these days struggle to overcome.
Too much boisterous male energy is never be a good thing! Letting all these ADD boys go out to the playground to violently kick and throw soccer balls clearly teaches their impressionable young minds that aggressive behavior is acceptable and fun.
Ah childs brain is reved on high. SO is a puppies, of course it fits one day ADHD puppies will be put on drugs to knock off that silly playfulness. Now they want to stretch kids kindergartens to a full day, boy that will be fun, I hope their eyes dont glaze over or theyll have to switch from ADHD at the begining of the day to caffenie supplements later so they get all that good usless dribble that is the bulk of what is taught. The only thing a toddler should be on is a flinstone vitamin
@SuperCuntpuncher You could, but you wouldn't be talking about ADHD. None of the properly done and reputable studies done show any link- or even correlation.
@elloraluna I agree that there isn't any evidence on that (that I have seen, I'm open to reviewing it if there is), but there are other kids which look like that have "autism"/are vaccine injured.
@SuperCuntpuncher Incorrect. There are properly done and reputable studies about this; vaccines have no connection to autism. Also, Andy is NOT autistic. (My other son is). The vaccine scare with autism was, sadly, begun by Andrew Wakefield, in an attempt to discredit the current MMR vaccine and promote his own. Because some serious ASD traits onset about the age 2, the correlation was taken up by some parents. We now know you can detect ASD earlier if you know what to look for.
@elloraluna well you must enjoy listening to Bill Gates and other people who control. You should just keep listening to them, hey the GMO's are probably good for you too!
@SuperCuntpuncher No, I prefer to do my own research. Fortunately, I have ready access to several excellent libraries in my area, and have the proper training to use them.
@elloraluna Whatever makes you happy :) I personally believe that drug companies sponsoring openly toxic vaccines pushed by people like Bill Gates are an example of a specific pressure [amongst others] that are intoxicating individuals and targeting children.
@elloraluna (continued) But you can be the judge. If you have a child with autism you ought to check out virals epidemic (dot) com - no spaces. Children are shot up with drugs beginning at birth so just because you "know what to look for" doesn't rule-out vaccine injury.
@SuperCuntpuncher I checked the website. It supports the theory that children "regress" into "autism-like" symptoms after receiving vaccines. There are several important problems with this theory. For one, every child I have met that had been "regressive" (and since we are in the therapy circuit and special ed circuit, I have met quite a few) has, with further questioning, turned out to have shown autistic tendencies from birth- just as my son did. These include unusual sensitivities (1 of 2)
@SuperCuntpuncher ...and gaining skills early. Before age 2, they tend to not wave or- more importantly- point. More obvious signs such as unusual language acquisition appear around the age these children are being vaccinated, and can be especially heightened by the minor side effects, such as fever. Do some research of our own into the phenomena, and get away from the conspiracy theorists.
@MrPeanutGamer That is EXACTLY why I posted this video- now almost 3 years ago. Too many people do not recognize ADHD, instead dismissing it as "high energy" or other nonsense. Not every high energy child is ADHD. In fact, unless it gets in the child's way of learning and participating, you don't really need to intervene. But as I go today to a meeting about how my child cannot focus enough to write a sentence, I assure you, there is a HUGE difference. (1 of 2)
@MrPeanutGamer People need to know when to screen for ADHD, how to intervene (not just medicate), and understand the risks of not intervening and helping these kids learn to focus and cope. Without intervention, my child runs a high risk of dropping out of school, addiction, and unemployment in later life. With intervention? He has the same chances as everybody else. It's that simple.
@elloraluna i meant to give you a thumbs up for your comment. because that is true. mine was left untreated. and long story short i could have prevented alot of troubles if it was treated earlier in my life.
How do u give a person a speeding drug when they are already naturally speeding ?... Learned behaviors & idiots who are brainwashed to think they will do better.
It's like getting drunk you think you can do everything but in reality your shit wasted !...
@elitex50 You need to do some research on how medications work in children. Also, not all ADHD children take medication- for example, ours. There are other interventions, and we have been fortunate that they are working without having to include medication.
See, now to me, they look and sound similar to films of schools in Nazi Germany. One person is sucking his thumb and frozen with anxiety perpetuated at the very least by his invisibility while everyone ignores his distress. It's scary how young they are and how compliant. I'm struck once again by the blatant cruelty. It has to stop.
@SarahZephynz Really? They aren't in forms. They also are not in uniforms. In the concert section, the thumbsucker is my son. Hence my intervention. I was also concerned that his distress was being ignored. The children are spaced to teach them about personal space- something our culture values highly- and arranged as a group. Without the human community, one man alone cannot survive.
@RunesGuild That "fat kid" is my other son. Pizza is/was a serious treat for him. We have done serious work on his weight, which is connected to a family metabolism issue and his autism. I am happy to report he is doing great.
@26magicman26 Funny enough, all the other kids, when the pizza arrived, sat and had a piece. Go into one and watch. about 90% of the kids will have a piece of pizza before they pop up and run off. That leaves you with 10%- not all of which have ADHD.
Thumbs up to whoever posted "It's a KID LET'S DRUG HIM".And what's this deal about voting age of .....what's the voting age?....See, it doesn't make sense to me.
@SarahZephynz Really? Why? We're not advocating "drugging" anybody here. Medication is a very serious issue, and not one to be taken or dismissed lightly. We're fortunate- Andy does not require them, and therefore doesn't take any.
The parents here are frightening, but worse are the Internet "I think I'll pretend to know what I'm talking about, counting that you don't know more than I do, pretend therapists.
@SarahZephynz Yes. I especially find the ones who rabidly insult and denigrate certain approaches without any knowledge of a person's background, condition, or situation. Very frightening.
As a 20 year old who was diagnosed in 1st grade i can tell you wholeheartedly that when i was in school the side effects of adderall and ritalin were detrimental in my social development, for me the medicine made me withdraw from what was going own around me such as friends meeting up after school. In hindsight i feel that it really stifled the person that i was. Thats my opinion looking back and at myself now. I also was diagnosed with depression in my early teens because i felt i was inferior.
@yami700thumper That is interesting, but I would ask why your parents decided to go with medication at the time, or why that medication was left unadjusted if you were having serious side effects that resulted in social withdraw.
Medication is a very serious issue for any condition, and a path that should never be tread lightly- and rarely is.
@elloraluna The blame could probably be put on my teacher at the time who was the one my parents always attributed as being first to raise the question if I had ADD. Of course every parent wants the best for their children and wants to see them reach their full potential, as do I being a new parent. So I can understand the willingness to try the medication at the time. But let me be clear I have been on Vyvanse, Adderall XR, Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta and Strattera and many dosages for each.
@yami700thumper You still get medications not from a teacher but from a doctor. Medications are nothing to take lightly, and must be CAREFULLY monitored to work properly. They are also used when there are serious behavioral issues that are not being effectively addressed by other means. We are fortunate that there is recognition now of many more therapies to help people with ADHD, before that step into medication is needful- if it is needful.
I must be honest, I had a difficult time identifying Andy until the scene changed to the choir concert...the little tow-headed boy seemed to be far more hyperactive and inattentive.
Just another quick update- we have started a program called "How Does Your Engine Run?" (based on the book), and it has been fabulous! A great tool for any parent, not just ADHD kids. :) We all learn what revs him up, what calms him down, and it teaches self-regulation. Very awesome program!
@elloraluna This program is going well! We are also considering some specialized visual processing therapies to help with some issues that may be adding to lack of focus and frustration. Doing the research first, but we;ll let you know if we try it!
@ty99999returns You are EXACTLY the kind of person we need watching these videos.These behaviors are NOT normal. And yes, it prevents my child from being able to participate and function in school, if we do nothing. If you recognize ADHD early, simple interventions can make a HUGE difference. Far too many ADHD kids grow up thinking they are stupid, crazy, or uncontrollable, because they cannot focus and function. The stress of being constantly judged can be devastating.
@ty99999returns EXACTLY! I was diagnosed with ADHD when i was around 7..and I now realize thats its all BS because the main reason why I was so "hyperactive" was simply because, (in my mind) it was the best way for me to attract the attention I was never given as a child. No one ever spoke to me, or noticed me until I started acting WILD. Plain and simple.
@TheJungaloo Unaddressed ADHD also leads to drug addictions and other issues of "self-medication." The issue of medication is not one to take lightly, nor one to ignore out-of-hand.
@wtf lol in my country its not as easy to get help... like in america because you pay for it they give anything if you say your kids got something. Well we do pay but through our wages. But they blame the parents and try not to help the kid because it drains the NHS and its easier to blame a parent so when her child is ill other people dont realise this, and yes hes ill but he has to have some disapline! All children do to make sure they dont end up on the wrong track.
@misswoko88 It is extremely difficult to get children diagnosed and get therapy, even if you can pay. We're fortunate that our insurance covers some of the therapies my autistic son needs, they cover far less for this one. Our old insurance covered NOTHING- not even OT or speech for my other son! My husband was lucky, and we found a job with insurance that helped. Most families are not so fortunate- even if they can get qualified for service!
@misswoko88 Also, discipline and punishment are two very different things. How would you feel if every time you said "ouch" when someone poked you with a knife, they slapped you across the face as "discipline"? You might or might not be able to control your impulse to say "ouch", but you are NEVER going to like the person torturing you. Perhaps a better approach would be to realize being poked with a knife hurts, and stop poking the person? Find the reason for the behavior, and address it.
@misswoko88 Wrightslaw (dot com) has an excellent section on disciplining ADHD kids, keeping in mind that they need to be taught to behave and taught to cope. A violent or unruly child is not coping.
Covering his ears with certain sounds is a definite sign he has sensory issues it doesn't mean he's crazy. There may be certain sound frequencies that bother him.
you might understand that disaplining him seems like the only thing to do, because she hasnt had training or treatment to calm him down. some children dont get tested until their teens. *my childs not perfect - part 2*, these people had to write to tv to get their 8yr old tested. My nephew is that girl with ADHD x50. he smashes his room up so they took away his toys for his safety & another way of trying to get him to behave.so he wripped all the wallpaper off the walls.
@misswoko88 It may seem that way, but punishing is different from teaching discipline. It is like punishing you for feeling pain when you hit your finger with a hammer. No matter how much punishment you might get, it still hurts. In fact, punishing you might make you react more strenuously, because you are more frustrated! Without proper support and intervention, it only exasperates an already difficult situation. Untreated mental illness is dangerous, just as untreated measles would be.
@elloraluna its not that easy in the UK, 4 and a half yrs we have been trying to get him help. Most of the doctors dont want the responsibility of diagnosing a child with a mental illness. well my nephew gets worse the longer he goes without help, almost tearing the family apart. attacking other people.. he will pick up a metal bar and if you dont stop him he will throw it. when my sister has a 6yr old who she loves kicking the sh*t out of her, while trying to not hurt him to restain him,,
Just a quick update (that you everybody for your interest!), we had an uptick in issues this fall, and put Andy back in OT. It has helped immensely, and immediately. We have also put in a new sensory buffet/sensory diet program and have more options for him to get what he needs to focus and continue in a "regular" classroom. It is amazing how simple interventions like a padded chair, and understanding from his teachers and friends, make a huge difference in Andy's ability to cope and learn.
how come all the adhd kids are like angels compared to my nephew??? they all seem like normal kids??? ADHD is ruining my family because they wont properly test him just say yeah he has adhd...! and my sister parenting has been observed and approved, her 4 yr old is a angel.
if americans think this is ADHD wft is going on! if my nephew had them sticks hed swing for the kid next to him friend or not. And you can punish him all you want hell still do it and you ask him why and he says i dont know!
@misswoko88 Andy's ADHD is considered mild to moderate. Punishment isn't going to help- there is a HUGE difference between discipline and punishment. Try having your nephew tested by an occupational therapist, who should provide you with a treatment plan.
@misswoko88 And do keep in mind that there are other conditions which can be causing the behavior you are seeing. Be prepared to research the diagnosis(or diagnoses) and support your nephew and his family by accepting who he is and making sure he gets the support he needs to cope and learn to self-regulate!
I think I was like Andy when I was a Child, but in Mexico I don't think my parents or my school know what adhd is, even this is the first time I'm looking for information about it (27 years old). I remember misbehaving in kindergarden but my mom and dad were very controlling with me and I was able to "cool off". I know Iam very smart but have a lot of problem for reading (read 2 sentences and forgot what I was reading and have to re-read again) but I'm excellent to analyzing the essence of it
@PirateVaper Many of us remember the "wild child" and "problem kid" in school. Imagine if that child could have calmed down and focused on their work, with simple interventions such as being allowed chewing gum, and being the one who passed out the books and hold the door? With a little understanding and support, many kids with ADHD can learn to cope and self-regulate, and be better able to participate in school!
@slamongo Watched it. Checked website. Looks like anti-Big Pharma garbage that denies the studies that show many of these conditions are caused by real biological issues, and seems to assume medication is the only way people are taught to "treat" developmental and mental issues. Unfortunately, sending you to reputable sites such as NIMH isn't going to help if you are believing junk like that.
@elloraluna All ADHD studies are based off assumptions, no real scientific lab research was conducted. Such experiment is impossible to conduct, thus, no one has truly understood the human mind. You must have spent a lot of money on Andy's treatment. I am happy that he's doing greater than before. The irony is you said earlier that he "doesn't require medication at this time." Does he supposed to require medication at some point later?
@slamongo Incorrect. I have read extensively, but a quick google brings up a number of articles that show REAL LAB RESEARCH was conducted. These studies refer lab/clinicals, you have to do actual research to pull up the clinicals themselves.
Yes, he may require medication if we cannot get impulsivity and anxiety under control. We don't want him to become a drug addict later, which is all too common in unaddressed ADHD.
@slamongo Unfortunately, trying to post links here gives me an error message. Your local college library should have access to databases that provide you with clinical trials and reports, they come right up with a simple search for ADHD.
@slamongo Then surely you can punch "ADHD studies" into Google, too? But most of the databases you will really want are not available online. You need to visit a library with access to medical databases. The article you can Google only reference those studies.
Mkay, this is how I see it. They're making a bunch of little kids saying the pledge of Allegiance which means little to nothing to them. They barely understand the words and the concept behind it. I bet it bored the crap out of every kids but unlike other kids, your child decided to not participate simply because he doesn't want to. He is as smart and incredible as any kids in that video. Love him and teach him how to learn things for himself, don't feed him drugs.
@slamongo Andy does not require medication at this time. He is in occupational therapy to help him learn to self-regulate and focus. The best intervention so far has been chewing gum- the oral input and joint compression makes him feel better. We also have a small trampoline in our kitchen. A few minutes of bouncing can get us 20 minutes of sitting and focusing on homework.
@elloraluna That is definitely a good idea. Every kid has an excess amount of energy. Letting him spend it on the trampoline is perfect. Sports and playgrounds also helps. Don't let him have too much sugary food. Personally, I just don't believe in this whole ADHD thing. There are many healthy solutions to any symptoms on the list.
@slamongo Living with it, I definitely believe it. We don't do a lot of carbs here- for one, Andy doesn't like them (no pasta, no potatoes, no rice, no bread, no cookies, no cake...), and for two, we have diabetes in the family. We also have him in soccer and use our yard and playground often. When you see my child next to other "typical" peers, the difference can be startling.
@slamongo Without the simple accommodations we provide and the therapy he does, HE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. He cannot complete schoolwork. He cannot concentrate to play. He can't read a book (and he LOVES books). He cannot walk through a store. He cannot interact with peers. With support and understanding, he can do all of these things, completing projects and thoughts with minimal distraction.
@elloraluna I think Andy is just unique in his own way. I've seen many kids like that. You just gotta find out what he really wants to do, what his interests really are. For the reading, sometimes reading with him helps a lot. Just gotta make sure the books are easy enough for him to read. But hey! It's just my opinion. Andy is yours and you're doing what's best for him just like any parent and guardian. Just make sure that you're well informed.
@slamongo Of course he is unique in his own way! That doesn't change the fact that ADHD is part of that uniqueness, and needs to be addressed and supported properly. He is now in second grade, and he enjoys books in the second-third grade levels (his brother is hyperlexic, so we know there is a difference between "can read" and "enjoys"). As long as people deny these kids need support and intervention, they will grow up to think they are lazy, crazy, or stupid; prone to addiction to self-med.
Spinning, covering ears, and needing deep pressure....Hmmm.... Have you had him tested to see if he may be on the Autism Spectrum? I have a son with sensory issues (and other stuff, of course) that was diagnosed with ADD first, then SPD (sensory processing disorder), then high functioning autism (Asperger's). He's actually doing very well.
I understand what you're going through...my daughter & I both have ADHD & to be honest it's like WW3 happens every morning just trying to get the morning routine out of the way trying to get out the door for school every morning. For those that DON'Tunderstand, don't talk, you have no room what so ever...if you don't have to deal with it, you have NO idea what it's like.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Give me a break! This is an absolutely normal little boy. He's BORED...and as far as the hands over the ears in the park...maybe his ears hurt as boys of his age tend to get ear infections constantly that may not show up for days...or maybe he just didn't like the music! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ADHD....It's all BS!
@Michele95761 i want you to say your halfbelieves into my eyes when you observe me for a week in my daily routine. I'm 30 years old now and i still have it. I'm not saying suffering since it has also alot of benefits. But people denying my disability clearly shows they have not a frickin clue on how this feels.
@Michele95761 Go fuck yourself, do you know what its like when you can't stop thinking about random shit all the time? You can't get shit done because your mind can't focus? It makes life much harder so fuck you bitch.
@Michele95761 I have had this confirmed from several different angles and sources. No, this behavior is NOT normal, and there IS something that can be done! Now, joint compression and oral stimulation (chewing on stale gum is best) work beautifully, except for the problem with hand stamina for writing. A little OT goes such a long way with helping him cope and function. Intolerance and ignorance such as this comment displays makes it so much harder to get the simple accommodations He needs.
@HeyJoeHaze No. I have one with autism. Andy has joint attention and no issues with social interaction with peers. He can initiate, engage, and maintain conversations and relationships, participate in fast-paced dynamic pretend play, and has firm control of language (though his speech is still a little off). We have him check ed regularly for ASD because of his brother. What you see here is ADHD with sensory integration dysfunction.
i remember i had chorus and violin concerts and even elementary school concerts when i would get in trouble because i wouldnt sing because other things around the room would distract me... horrible years
@iHateHackerzx Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. When you just have attention deficit, it is ADD; just hyperactivity is HD; combined type is ADHD.
O and yes beated no timeout no grounded no tv for a week stuff like that just beated but afther a fuse year i got use to it as it didnt hart me anymore so she had no more ammo to use and she gave up and i desided that it was getting me nowere
them i get anger its like how can they be so stupid but not even two years ago i was just like that and now i cant be arowed it make me want to punch someone but i dont fight nomore its fun but i dont want to go back to that
Not anger issuses more like cant be arowed stupid people as in kids and teens idk teens are so stupid im the smart one in all my classes be not reading or spelling more math but im not saying kids are stupid its just the way they acted teens to dont get me wrong im a teen as well but i kno how to think like girls that cant get over someone there hormoses make tgem think stupid guys as well im not like any other teen i ever seen i kno how to think straght unlike other teens so when im arowed the
But yea wat ur saying is ture to i gess but the thing is i stoped it my self adhd was only a probile becuz i let it be ur son might not kno that yet it took me 17 yr to find that out
@reyelfather So you were beaten for misbehaving instead of taking a more appropriate line of discipline and structure, and you still have anger issues. Not everyone dies, despite your previous comment. ADHD is addressable, and should not be ignored. It can't be beaten out of you.
Im not talking about beating the energy out of us im talking about the miss behaving i am full of energy but when i was youger it mits with anger and disbehaver so the ask was meds and ass beatings the bad thing about that was i got use to it and nothing she did could help it took me realieing that im not getting anywere acting like that so at age 15 i stop my self but yea anger and not paying adtechin is not that much a proble no more but tell happens
I have and bin had adhd and have bin on meds for 9 yr im 17 and i stop taking it for 2 mouths now and i even think that adhd is BS u kno how to core it beat the shit out of the kids i got my ass beat number of times all better now yea i stell get mad easly but who dosent
@reyelfather Slow down and focus. My son, with his sensory support, is perfectly functional in well-structured environments. He is not on medication. Instead of being "beat", perhaps if your ADHD had been properly addressed, your anger would be easier to control.
Thank you for sharing your son's story. I have two children diagnosed with ADHD and one that we are keeping a close eye on. I was looking for videos of ADHD behaviors in the classroom for my thesis project. So far this is the closest video that I've found to what I needed. If you are aware of any classroom setting videos with kids with ADHD, odd, anxiety or depression please email me the links to amberandbradjones@yahoo.com and put ADHD videos in the subject heading.
hes not too bad, my son is way worse than that but hasnt been diagnosed as yet. the eating is about the same as my son he cant sit on his bum for more than a few seconds
@jody802202 We have put him in very structured environments at school (he's in first grade now), and that has really helped. He still gets lots of movement breaks, and lots of heavy work (helping push in chairs, hold door, pass out books, etc), but also has very clear understanding of what needs to happen when. He's allowed to stand to read and to eat, which is also helpful.
Im a teenage with adhd. Alot of people say its fake but its not, you have unbeleivable amounts of energy and its hard to control. Andy is younger so it must be more difficult, but I think ADHD is beneficial if you can control it, with the ability to hyperfocus. You should try putting him into a team sport like soccer or hockey.But nice video, the world needs to learn more about this so called "disorder"
@bryz2034 hey there, my son is worse than the boy in this video but hasnt been diagnosed. can you please give me some tips on how to get him to focus and have some self control?? he has just turned 4 and does swimming every friday and karate twice a week and kindy twice a week and still jumps around like hes live wired! its really exhausting. please help
@jody802202 I recommend contacting an occupational therapist- the sooner you intervene, the better your child will be able to cope on his own. They also have great ideas. We recommend investigating your child's sensory needs- make sure he is not overstimulated, give him lots of hugs (deep pressure can really help!), and our secret was a small trampoline in the kitchen. The bouncing may feel good on his joints and provide input through his feet.
Andy is just like my son Aaron. All the activities seem to be the same experiances I have had with him. lol... I can't help but giggle to myself. I love him so much and he just does not seem to be able to connect with the world the way people without ADHD do. It is really sad. I have no idea what he is thinking or how he feels. I wish I could understand my son better.
Its quite simple to understand.

@SuperCuntpuncher I checked the website. It supports the theory that children "regress" into "autism-like" symptoms after receiving vaccines. There are several important problems with this theory. For one, every child I have met that had been "regressive" (and since we are in the therapy circuit and special ed circuit, I have met quite a few) has, with further questioning, turned out to have shown autistic tendencies from birth- just as my son did. These include unusual sensitivities (1 of 2)
elloraluna 3 weeks ago
@SuperCuntpuncher ...and gaining skills early. Before age 2, they tend to not wave or- more importantly- point. More obvious signs such as unusual language acquisition appear around the age these children are being vaccinated, and can be especially heightened by the minor side effects, such as fever. Do some research of our own into the phenomena, and get away from the conspiracy theorists.

@MrPeanutGamer That is EXACTLY why I posted this video- now almost 3 years ago. Too many people do not recognize ADHD, instead dismissing it as "high energy" or other nonsense. Not every high energy child is ADHD. In fact, unless it gets in the child's way of learning and participating, you don't really need to intervene. But as I go today to a meeting about how my child cannot focus enough to write a sentence, I assure you, there is a HUGE difference. (1 of 2)
elloraluna 1 month ago
@MrPeanutGamer People need to know when to screen for ADHD, how to intervene (not just medicate), and understand the risks of not intervening and helping these kids learn to focus and cope. Without intervention, my child runs a high risk of dropping out of school, addiction, and unemployment in later life. With intervention? He has the same chances as everybody else. It's that simple.

See, now to me, they look and sound similar to films of schools in Nazi Germany. One person is sucking his thumb and frozen with anxiety perpetuated at the very least by his invisibility while everyone ignores his distress. It's scary how young they are and how compliant.

@SarahZephynz Really? They aren't in forms. They also are not in uniforms. In the concert section, the thumbsucker is my son. Hence my intervention. I was also concerned that his distress was being ignored. The children are spaced to teach them about personal space- something our culture values highly- and arranged as a group. Without the human community, one man alone cannot survive.

As a 20 year old who was diagnosed in 1st grade i can tell you wholeheartedly that when i was in school the side effects of adderall and ritalin were detrimental in my social development, for me the medicine made me withdraw from what was going own around me such as friends meeting up after school. In hindsight i feel that it really stifled the person that i was. Thats my opinion looking back and at myself now. I also was diagnosed with depression in my early teens because i felt i was inferior.
yami700thumper 1 month ago
@yami700thumper That is interesting, but I would ask why your parents decided to go with medication at the time, or why that medication was left unadjusted if you were having serious side effects that resulted in social withdraw.
Medication is a very serious issue for any condition, and a path that should never be tread lightly- and rarely is.
elloraluna 1 month ago
@elloraluna The blame could probably be put on my teacher at the time who was the one my parents always attributed as being first to raise the question if I had ADD. Of course every parent wants the best for their children and wants to see them reach their full potential, as do I being a new parent. So I can understand the willingness to try the medication at the time. But let me be clear I have been on Vyvanse, Adderall XR, Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta and Strattera and many dosages for each.
yami700thumper 1 month ago
@yami700thumper You still get medications not from a teacher but from a doctor. Medications are nothing to take lightly, and must be CAREFULLY monitored to work properly. They are also used when there are serious behavioral issues that are not being effectively addressed by other means. We are fortunate that there is recognition now of many more therapies to help people with ADHD, before that step into medication is needful- if it is needful.

@ty99999returns You are EXACTLY the kind of person we need watching these videos.These behaviors are NOT normal. And yes, it prevents my child from being able to participate and function in school, if we do nothing. If you recognize ADHD early, simple interventions can make a HUGE difference. Far too many ADHD kids grow up thinking they are stupid, crazy, or uncontrollable, because they cannot focus and function. The stress of being constantly judged can be devastating.
elloraluna 1 month ago
@ty99999returns EXACTLY! I was diagnosed with ADHD when i was around 7..and I now realize thats its all BS because the main reason why I was so "hyperactive" was simply because, (in my mind) it was the best way for me to attract the attention I was never given as a child. No one ever spoke to me, or noticed me until I started acting WILD. Plain and simple.

@misswoko88 It is extremely difficult to get children diagnosed and get therapy, even if you can pay. We're fortunate that our insurance covers some of the therapies my autistic son needs, they cover far less for this one. Our old insurance covered NOTHING- not even OT or speech for my other son! My husband was lucky, and we found a job with insurance that helped. Most families are not so fortunate- even if they can get qualified for service!

@misswoko88 Also, discipline and punishment are two very different things. How would you feel if every time you said "ouch" when someone poked you with a knife, they slapped you across the face as "discipline"? You might or might not be able to control your impulse to say "ouch", but you are NEVER going to like the person torturing you. Perhaps a better approach would be to realize being poked with a knife hurts, and stop poking the person? Find the reason for the behavior, and address it.

misswoko88 2 months ago
@misswoko88 It may seem that way, but punishing is different from teaching discipline. It is like punishing you for feeling pain when you hit your finger with a hammer. No matter how much punishment you might get, it still hurts. In fact, punishing you might make you react more strenuously, because you are more frustrated! Without proper support and intervention, it only exasperates an already difficult situation. Untreated mental illness is dangerous, just as untreated measles would be.

@elloraluna its not that easy in the UK, 4 and a half yrs we have been trying to get him help. Most of the doctors dont want the responsibility of diagnosing a child with a mental illness. well my nephew gets worse the longer he goes without help, almost tearing the family apart. attacking other people.. he will pick up a metal bar and if you dont stop him he will throw it. when my sister has a 6yr old who she loves kicking the sh*t out of her, while trying to not hurt him to restain him,,

Just a quick update (that you everybody for your interest!), we had an uptick in issues this fall, and put Andy back in OT. It has helped immensely, and immediately. We have also put in a new sensory buffet/sensory diet program and have more options for him to get what he needs to focus and continue in a "regular" classroom. It is amazing how simple interventions like a padded chair, and understanding from his teachers and friends, make a huge difference in Andy's ability to cope and learn.

Unfortunately, sending you to reputable sites such as NIMH isn't going to help if you are believing junk like that.
elloraluna 3 months ago
@elloraluna All ADHD studies are based off assumptions, no real scientific lab research was conducted. Such experiment is impossible to conduct, thus, no one has truly understood the human mind. You must have spent a lot of money on Andy's treatment. I am happy that he's doing greater than before. The irony is you said earlier that he "doesn't require medication at this time." Does he supposed to require medication at some point later?
slamongo 3 months ago
@slamongo Incorrect. I have read extensively, but a quick google brings up a number of articles that show REAL LAB RESEARCH was conducted. These studies refer lab/clinicals, you have to do actual research to pull up the clinicals themselves.
Yes, he may require medication if we cannot get impulsivity and anxiety under control. We don't want him to become a drug addict later, which is all too common in unaddressed ADHD.

slamongo 3 months ago
@slamongo Andy does not require medication at this time. He is in occupational therapy to help him learn to self-regulate and focus. The best intervention so far has been chewing gum- the oral input and joint compression makes him feel better. We also have a small trampoline in our kitchen. A few minutes of bouncing can get us 20 minutes of sitting and focusing on homework.
elloraluna 3 months ago
@elloraluna That is definitely a good idea. Every kid has an excess amount of energy. Letting him spend it on the trampoline is perfect. Sports and playgrounds also helps. Don't let him have too much sugary food. Personally, I just don't believe in this whole ADHD thing. There are many healthy solutions to any symptoms on the list.
slamongo 3 months ago
@slamongo Living with it, I definitely believe it. We don't do a lot of carbs here- for one, Andy doesn't like them (no pasta, no potatoes, no rice, no bread, no cookies, no cake...), and for two, we have diabetes in the family. We also have him in soccer and use our yard and playground often. When you see my child next to other "typical" peers, the difference can be startling.
elloraluna 3 months ago
@slamongo Without the simple accommodations we provide and the therapy he does, HE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. He cannot complete schoolwork. He cannot concentrate to play. He can't read a book (and he LOVES books). He cannot walk through a store. He cannot interact with peers. With support and understanding, he can do all of these things, completing projects and thoughts with minimal distraction.
elloraluna 3 months ago
@elloraluna I think Andy is just unique in his own way. I've seen many kids like that. You just gotta find out what he really wants to do, what his interests really are. For the reading, sometimes reading with him helps a lot. Just gotta make sure the books are easy enough for him to read. But hey! It's just my opinion. Andy is yours and you're doing what's best for him just like any parent and guardian. Just make sure that you're well informed.
slamongo 3 months ago
@slamongo Of course he is unique in his own way! That doesn't change the fact that ADHD is part of that uniqueness, and needs to be addressed and supported properly. He is now in second grade, and he enjoys books in the second-third grade levels (his brother is hyperlexic, so we know there is a difference between "can read" and "enjoys"). As long as people deny these kids need support and intervention, they will grow up to think they are lazy, crazy, or stupid; prone to addiction to self-med.

@jody802202 I recommend contacting an occupational therapist- the sooner you intervene, the better your child will be able to cope on his own. They also have great ideas. We recommend investigating your child's sensory needs- make sure he is not overstimulated, give him lots of hugs (deep pressure can really help!), and our secret was a small trampoline in the kitchen. The bouncing may feel good on his joints and provide input through his feet.
