ADHD is real. Believe me. Take the looks and comments of disbelief you get when your ADHD child is struggling through the day and throw them all away. Statistically, ADHD is the second most stressful behavioral disorder families face. Which 'wins' first place? Conduct disorder.

My family has struggled for 9 years to get a grip on this disorder. We have tried many things - some have been successful, some not. Be sure to come back regularly - I will share our experiences and offer links to other helpful sites. I am NOT a doctor of any sort, just a mom of a wonderful child with ADHD and I have spent many years learning my way through the ADHD world in the hopes of providing my son with a better environment.

Sorry, you are wrong - Drs HAVE found a biological basis. Read up on Dr Russell Barkley's work. Oxycodon is in the same class 2 controlled substance. If you have ever taken that you will know that the appropriate dose does good things when warrented. I am a responsible parent - I make sure my child takes the appropriate dose with appropriate reason. Daaa... Your ignorance makes you blind. Learn the facts, as I did.

Doctors have never found a physical/biological basis for ADHD, so why is it being "treated" with a drug? And even if a biological basis for ADHD was found, why would you give a child a drug in the same class as cocaine?
