[LMB] OT:AKICIF ADD

[Tzivia Adler]

I just got told by the school psychiatrist that my son likely has ADD.  He's 
eight years old, and until now he was informally diagnosed by friends and 
relatives as, having a complete inability to sit still.  now it's official.

aside from that, all his teachers agree that he is a bright, helpful kid who 
tries to behave, he just can't manage it.

i would prefer not to apply drugs if not absolutely needed.  i don't know if 
he actually has ADD or if this is the diagnosis-du-jour.

has anyone been in this situation before?  i don't even know what questions 
to ask, or where to get more info.

ziviya, wanting a Parents' Manual -right now-.
