This list is for parents of children who are, or who are suspected of being, ADD/ADHD with,or without ODD, as well as other disorders. Everyone is welcome here, however, please note that there will be no criticism of a parent, by listmembers, for choosing to use or not use medication as a treatment. Also, please note that if you ask for ideas, suggestions, etc. that you will most likely receive them. There are some on this list who have been able to progress their children past needing meds. Please use this list for support, venting, locating information, and acquainting yourself with others who may serve as resources or companions in the struggles of ADD/ADHD/ODD. We do ask that if you simply want to vent that you note such in your subject line, that you aren't looking for ideas. This way we can avoid conflicts with our offering advice and you not wanting it.
