Re: ADHD/Ritalin

I found out that my son had ADD about 8 months ago. In first grade, he
was disorganized and a day dreamer, but because he was so bright, he could
keep up with the rest of the kids. This year, he started having bad tantrums
and becoming very frustrated. We never suspected ADD because he was
not a hyperactive kid. Sure he couldn't sit still in a chair, but he
was never bouncing off walls.

We got alot of information from CompuServe's ADD Forum. I was able to talk
to doctors, psychologists, parents, and people with ADD on the forum.
This helped my wife and me get over alot of the rough spots and work
on getting our son treated.

I would highly recommend _anyone_ who either has ADD, is a parent with
a child who has ADD, or is married to someone with ADD get in contact with
this forum. So far, I haven't found an ADD newsgroup or mail list on the
Internet.
