That Widow

Day 98 and here comes another diagnosis.

Welp number 2 got diagnosed with ADHD and we met with a doctor today to discuss options. My husband also had ADHD and was on medication until he graduated high school. It is very typical to be associated with autism and so I knew that it was a possibility but with the problems he is having at school I figured it was time to address it to help him. We are trying a very low dose of medicine to see if it will help him be able to stop the internal battle he is having with his brain and body to stop the fight or flight and just complete his work. This was not an easy choice because I’m not a fan of medicating children but I also don’t want to stand in his way if it will help him. We can try it and if it doesn’t work we can stop it at any time. I’m also choosing not to medicate on the weekends on breaks from school but that’s another personal choice where I can control his environment more at home that at school so it’s not an issue for me to not have his full attention.

Day 98 and fingers crossed this helps him be his best self.
