I just realized that I didn't tell you how things turned out for my son- the Ritalin (large doses) really helped -even though he had had such a difficult time in school as a child, he's now a year and a half away from getting a PhD in atomic physics at Princeton! He can focus mentally so much better, but is still a study in constant motion. He invited us up to see him give his first lecture as a graduate teaching assistant, and managed to FALL OFF THE PLATFORM in the middle of his talk! Everyone gasped and then laughed, but what a tiny problem compared to the one he overcame- and it is funny! Now, his students watch him racing back and forth, arms flying, and wonder when he'll do it again!
