But when he is at home with my ex-wife there is, with 3 other kids in the house, not a real problem. When he is with me, there is no problem at all. Only at school. Because of his disorder he is behind emotially 2 years. So he cant keep up with everyone. A psychiatrist, we consulted, thinks thats the problem. I agree with that. A school where they are specialized in PDD-NOS and ADHD, he thinks ,will improve a lot of the situation. My ex wife, thinks he is better of surrounded by "normal" kids and dont want all the hassel because he has to go to a school 40 miles from home instead of two blocks away. But because of the problems with[Tristan is his name] my son, school wont keep him there unless he takes medication like ritalin or strattera. Look it up! everything you find about this is BAD NEWS. She still think this is the easiest way to solve the problem and really thinks a few pills a day will make him the ideal child he should be, even i mailed her all the information about this ****. She is not aware. She believes mainstream opinion is good and i am slightly crazy. Tried everything to get it out of her head without any results. I dont want my kid on drugs like ritalin because it is:AMFITAMINES YOU KNOW WE CALLED IT SPEED, when i was young[hmm they still do i think]. How in heavens name can that **** for a psychic healthy human being, lead you into the biggest social, health and finacial probems(you will die from it doctors say) but for my ten year old son, with a lot of social problems ,it will be the solution?
Because he is living with his mom she got the power to do this without my permission. And i think she makes THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE WORLD!!!
It keeps me awake at night and i try to figger out how i could stop this, but the answers i come up with are not done because it will make things worse for Tristan. I dont know how to handle this. Thats why i wrote this here and hope to get usefull information, from people who know more than i do, about this situation.

Hi Roemer
I am a chiropractor so bare with me.
Everything you read about in the DSM-IV (this is the manual for psychiatrists) appears to be devoid of scientific fact. There is no such thing as a Mathematics Disorder, etc. As for ADD, PDD-NOS, etc. there are currently NO specific tests for these types of disorders (in the body). They are clinically decided upon by the practitioner. A blind opinion. There have been schools for ADD and ADHD children that have concentrated on the diet and kids have raised attention span and alertness far exceeding the expectations of the original diagnosis. Why? Because these disorders aren't what the paradigm has been predicated upon. They are bogus. Ritalin, etc. are smaller forms of heroine. They are powerful and dangerous meds.
Please consult with a functional medicine specialist. These are MDs, DOs, DCs (like me), NPs, NDs and the like - a harmonious mix. Check out
www.functionalmedicine.org
Find a practitioner in your area and DO NOT allow your child to be a drug-addicted-potential-gone-south. This groupthink of drugs help everyone is rediculous. The change starts with you. Please do the BETTER thing. Look for alternatives in any way you can.
Good luck!
