Dubstepped thank you. I will be checking out that site. Everyone keep them coming please.
Mindfulness meditation has helped my family tremendously. My kids watch a YouTube channel nightly before bed called Zen Den. It's perfect for kids. My kids love the U.K. accent.

Nevuela I'm sorry to hear that happened too you. The little research I have done to this point states that roughly 20% of cases of ADHD are caused by external events. Things like ongoing chemo, physical trauma like abuse and so on.
My son has extraordinary circumstances and many side effects from the chemo treatment. He has ongoing physical therapy due to damage done to ligaments and his muscular system. Occupational therapy for the neurological damage that affects his writing ability. E.g. His 7 year old sister is more advanced in her penmanship then him by long shot and he is approaching 10.
He went through a battery of behavioral exams as did my wife, me, and his teacher to determine what is going on with him. He is also scheduled for a thorough psychological work up as he struggles with anxiety and depression. So his diagnosis was not determined flippantly.
My wife and I are in no way opposed to medication. However due to his recovering from a battery of medications we will be taking a break for a little while, and reexamine it on an ongoing basis. We are currently working up strategies to help him develop the executive functions he needs to be an independent socially adjusted responsible adult. We have also seen tremendous improvement over the last year since he has completed his chemo. As an example when he started regular school last year he was two years behind where he needed to be and was disruptive in class. Roid rage sucks. Part of his protocol was a heavy dose of steroids a week out of every month. Now within a single year he is caught up to his grade level and ahead in some areas, and does not have any behavioral issues at school.
Again thank you everyone for your insights as we will be considering and utilizing all your knowledge in one way or another to help us help him.

Spoletta by the way I did not agree to disagree because I believe he was right. I just saw that it was going nowhere and decided to be the bigger person.
There is a difference of playing devil's advocate and being a good debater, and just being stubborn. I still contend that he misrepresented what I said.

Thank you for answering. Let's agree to disagree here. I don't think it's inappropriate or reaching to quickly to compare someone who uses a racial slur to the alt right. Which was the context of my statement.
I do agree however that many do reach to quickly.

Simon you did take my quote out of context to make a point that I was not making. If you can't see that your blind.
People who use racial slurs have much in common with the alt right whether they are or not literally on the alt right. Taking my quote stating such, cherry picking it, then using it as though I was comparing people who use the term illegal or stand for border enforcement as alt right is a complete fabrication.
Like what Glenn Greenwald and his ilk do to Sam Harris.

Kpop I am sorry. And sorry for what you are going through. Your referring to me as a jw pissed me off as that is more offensive to me than calling me just about anything else. I am an ex jw 3rd generation and have lost my entire social network including most of my family.
We are disagreeing on semantics. I also don't like people putting words into my mouth as the saying goes. If what you stated was misrepresented over and over again ask yourself how would you react. If someone used a racially based slur to make their point how would you react.

Thank you all for sharing your information. Every bit helps as my wife and I move forward.

I get it simon. Since it's your site you can break the rules. You called me a fucking idiot. But I use it and oh my.
Secondly you took my quote out of context as though I was using the term alt right in the way you intimated. I would not have brought up condemning or condoning what was said by Jehalepeno and Nathan had you not done that.
Generally I could care less if you condemn or condone something. I want clarity and not to be mischaracterized by cherry picked comments out of context. It's dishonest. Most who agree with you have done this throughout the post.
By the way you are the one that asked me to specify where you condoned the use of a slur. If I quoted someone out of context I would man up and admit it. Whether intentional or not.

kpop are you a jw? I'm not go Fuck yourself.
Freemindfade how does it feel to be misrepresented as though you stand for something you don't. Maybe hate was too strong a word, and unlike others here I'm big enough and humble enough to admit that.
Does anyone else here who have continually taken what I've stated out of context and mischaracterized what I've said big enough to do the same?
