Aspergers son with ADHD

Suzza

My son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. We have been hiding the medication in a chocolate mousse before school. He is now refusing the mousse And we are going to have to talk to him about talking it with water. and swallowing the tablets. He is very difiant and will not go for this option. he HAS to take it for school or he really can't cope. He is 8 years old. I really am stuck and desecrate . Any ideas???

thankyou x

    The primary issue here is the child's ADHD and its management. It sounds as though the current medicine is doing a valuable job in enabling the child to get on at school. I have no wish to undermine this approach. There are a range of views about medicalising our conditions. Some people on the site regard meds as poison, some people see them as valuable. I think it depends on the individual situation and am not trying to criticise this parent or be judgemental about what they are doing.

    I think I have made it clear on this thread and others that diet is one avenue to explore in improving a childs' behaviour.

    The link I posted, earlier in the thread, is from NHS Choices. I try to avoid posting references to cult websites with no pedigree of authenticity. NHS Choices does not post stuff without giving it a bit of scrutiny so I suggest that people read it if they are interested and to leave it alone if they are not.
