Hi Mark,
I've been lurking here on and off for several years. Amazing Janes position
hasn't shifted one degree despite being bombarded with so much factual
information.
Early on in the 1st grade, it was suggested by my sons teacher, he should be
checked out for ADD. That is when I first started lurking here, looking for
info. Reading Jane's posts about other possable causes for my son's 
"condition"
caused me to take a slow cautious approach. My wife and I tried several
different avenues of treatment. All with negative results. In the
mean time, our son suffered.
Only very recently, three years later, have we started with MPH. So far, it
appears to be working.
I wish I never heard of Jane Kelly.
=Mike
ps: thankyou and all the other opened minded positive people that post here 
and
    keep Jane in check.
