Thanks!
Yes we saw a similiar thing the red dye in foods. Sprees, gummie bear etc.
He get ZERO caffeine. His sister doesn't get any either, we just don't do soda, candy in our house.
He plays sports, and is outside as much as possible. TV is very limited.

I was puzzled by the lack of science for reaching the ADHD Dx. No one can really spell that out for me. I do agree that my son does react differently at school. He is an inquisitive, alert, happy and high spirirted little boy at home. He crosses into school and begins to talk baby talk, becomes more physically active, and off meds eats pencils, walks around aimlessly in the room and bothers other kids with his chatter.

I also think the shool setting is not really ideal for kids. There is more value placed on sitting still, no talking, walking in a line, and saying yes mam, no mam than anything else. (here in the south)
Believing that kids learn by doing, it is hard to wonder how much is the inappropriate enviornment and how much is ADHD?
The therapist says I can't change the system...

Thanks for the info, it was helpful
