That's a little different to most ADHD 'sufferers', I think you'll find. Most kids go to school like the rest of them - at least you're a good parent.  |
Some ADHD children are too disruptive and end up excluded from school for the safety and education of the classes. Its hard to educate children with ADHD children in the classes but I feel these children would still benefit from fiting in to todays society and having a place at school but perhaps with slightly different timetable to the rest of school working in small groups.

I can't see the point of compensating people for being who they are - there has to be a good medical reason for them needing that money!) |
The medication doesn't make them normal infact in some cases it stunts their growth, supreses their appitite and in some cases has been known to change the child so that they are nothing like their normal self more like zombies and harder to teach.
