[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 635783, member: 14557"] How does J himself think about medications at this point? Does he feel that there is difference and does he feel it is mostly positive or negative? Hopefully these side effects would go down at least a bit. Being able to concentrate, even if it right now mostly shows in football and things like that, is so very important socially. And when kids get older and their ability to concentrate, and orientation to more 'rule based' plays and activities, increases, their willingness to tolerate the one who does disturbs their games and plays and isn't able to follow the rules goes down. And J is right at the brink of that age. I remember when difficult child was little older than J now and all the other boys started to get quite serious with their playing and difficult child, while really good at sports when focusing, continued to run to wrong direction, build sand castles when supposed to be playing, stopping middle of running with the ball to look something more closely and once, very memorably, getting stuck from his toungue to goal post during very cold day's bandy game (he was playing goal, his team was in offense and he got distracted. Couldn't get himself free before the other team scored from mid field.) and so on. Adults were mostly hysterically laughing at him but those type of things made his team mates extremely angry. And not only at organized sports but at the school yard too. Really hurt him socially. [/QUOTE]
