Mikal:
I'm very sorry for your losses. I lost my siblings and my parents and now stand alone with my two children and grandson. I'm very blessed to have children. My most fervent prayer is that they bury me, and not I them, as my parents had to do with my brother and sister.
I am not trying to defend Ritalin or it's use ( overuse ) here. I have no idea as to the positive benefits, if any, versus it's negative side affects. I and my exwife never put our children on the drug, because like you, I believe a normal child will be hyperactive, and the hyper part is in relation to old people.
My only opinion is that before we throw the baby out with the bath water lets look at all the consequences of that act.
Very best to you,
Pat
