well geeta,

My daughter (adopted) was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 7 years old. I also wanted medication to be a LAST resort so I took her out of school and homeschooled her. She had all kinds of self-esteem problems because of her inability to sit still and concentrate. Poor grades..always in trouble, the usual stuff. I knew she need social activities with other children so, in addition to church, I enrolled her in Martial Arts. They had a wonderful kid's program and her instructor was a dream. Quiet and patient. Within 6 months she could sit through an entire 2 hour testing without fidgiting. She became confident and self-assured. She is still training..and is now a 4th degree black belt (at 17), she was state champion in forms, weapons and sparring and is a nationally recognized certified instructor. In addition to Taekwondo, she has trained in Hapkido, Krav Maga, Kung Fu and has now added Brazilian Jui Jitsu. It will not work for everyone, but it worked wonders for her...she has never taken medication for her ADHD and no one would ever know she has it unless she told them.

I have both and have never been meded. My art teacher figured it out about a month before graduation when she read an artical on how it effects girls' diffrently then boys. Up until then most teachers didn't even know girls could have it and just chalked my behaviour and "learning problems" (boredom really) to being from a dysfunctional home. Because of this I spent alot of time with teachers claiming I couldn't learn and wanting to stick me in the LD classes to not deal with me. Only to have the LD teacher test me and send me right back to class. Didn't help they had already written me off because of my home life. I litterly had to learn discipline and how to learn on my own.

And when they tried to treat my depression as an adult with Paxil I discovered the ADD/ADHD caused it not to work right so I went Manic.

What is the difference between Aspergers and Adult ADHD? How can you tell when an adult has Aspergers disorder?

I have heard of a lot of different vitamins, and Ive even tried a few vitamins. I was wondering though if anyone has actually tried a vitamin, or supplemental

for optimal health. However, high doses of some vitamins can make you sick.THe vitamin supplements are good I have personally tried them over....Many times ADD/ADHD can be resolved, or reduced with chiropractic stable, and helps metabolize any extra sugar. Other than that, I just make sure their multivitamin is high in B, C and Zinc as those are deficiencies in People with ADHD as well....Vitamins are substances
