[AOII Angel]

My twin brother and sister were diagnosed way back in the late 80s with ADHD and were medicated from the time they were in the first or second grade. From experience being the older sibling growing up in the same household (I'm six years older), discipline and structure is so important. They do so much better when they have expectations and rules to follow. My family was totally chaotic and it effected how my siblings managed. They could never really have medication holidays because of that dynamic. I always knew when someone had forgotten to give them their medicine because I'd wake up in the summer or on the weekend to them bouncing off the walls. My brother still needs medicine today but is fairly successful working for a tech company in Silicon Valley. I think he takes something non-scheduled like Stratera. My sister doesn't take anything and lives in our hometown.
