Right you are Jerry.  I too have tried it all with my son.  I had 7 years to 
work with him, on behavioural issues.  No he is not lazy like people wh don't 
believe in ADHD insist.  There are lazy kids who will respond to the 
treatment of taking away toys and priviledges.  On ADHD kids it doesn't make 
a difference becuase they don't have a mental disorder, it is a medical 
one---see my other message in this echo to Bob Moylan.  Just like you treat 
diabetes with insulin and epilepsy with Tegratol, you treat ADHD with Ritalin 
or other medically proven drugs.
