3wouldbe: I strongly suggest homeschooling your son. That will prevent you from having to medicate him, go through the hassles of iep and all kinds of meetings, etc. I have been down that road before, I am homeschooling now and love it! I think the drugs are to have your kid sit still, be quiet, and conform to public school setting. When my kids were on the drugs, they didn’t like that they couldn’t be themselves and other things. I wish I would have never kept them in ps or drugged them. They are so much happier and healthier off the meds. Just food for thought…I don’t think the option is ever presented, since a lot of ppl think that ps is the only way or the right way. Homeschooling allows for so much individualizing of learning. Just look into it and read up on how it worked for others and you might be amazed.
