WelcomeWell there are parents here that can give you answers or point you in the direction you need to head in. There are others like me that can do the same thing using my personal experience. If it's a question about the diagnosis, medications or side effects and many others someone in here has had to deal with it in one way or another. Just write it out and you will get answers.Joe
