I know EXACTLY how you feel! I've found some comfort in a website called sizzle bop. I saw Carol Barnier (the owner of the website) speak at a hs convention and her words are so supportive, so loving they help me to "see the gift" that I OFTEN loose in my child. She has written several books as well but her website is full of interesting and often humorous tales that help me cope with my ADHD (imphasis on the H here)...

My girls take the generic Dexedrine and it seems to work fine. It could be a dose related thing--esp. if she has grown at all. Puberty is not fun for adjusting meds. Now for seizure meds, my 14dd MUST have the name brand or we are in big trouble--seizures, toxicity, etc. 13dd though on the other hand is doing fine with the generic Lamictal.

I agree, but then today, my son had to translate a passage in LLATL into present tense- and for some reason he had never done that before and it was really, really hard for him. I never realised he had a problem with tenses before. Then we went to Latin, and it completely reinforced...

I finally get it! Had I taken that advice earlier (back with the breastfeeding) I'd probably have a better relationship with my MIL! Bean dip is a board classic, written by our own Joanne. I find myself recommending it several times a year....

I have a son a lot like that but he is 5 . When he was 3 he was a lot like your dd . I think my son has a very mild Aspergers or PDD-NOS although the developmental ped . disagree . I am not saying that your daughter has that but usually a mom's instinct is right . I would suggest you to take an app. with a developmental pediatrician ( maybe two for a second oppinion) if you care about a dg. if not just keep teaching her as much as you can...

Does the beta version include the progress reports? They look like they would be helpful. I'd like to see a few real ones.

hs baby, same here....it was GREAT the first month, then it leveled. Which ties in to: Ottakee, she has had a growth spurt...i guess that can happen in 3-4 months. Combined together I believe because of the growth spurt she has leveled off. Like you other dd, my dd does fine with generic seizure meds. But, the behavior meds may be different. I am going to "test try" the aderall for brand for a month just to determine if i...
