Bob,
 
thanks for the enlightment of information.  I have received many 
letters that state the same.  Just this last year I also enrolled him 
in cub scouts and in baseball (is 8 years old now).  Although I was a 
little reluctant to do so, not knowing if he could handle it, I was 
amazed.  At first there was some problems but with a lot of one on one 
talking and patience he came thru and even got the team ball for the 
most improved player!   He loved it as he also loves Scouts.  My only 
problem now is the emotional end of it.  He seems to interpret things 
people say sometimes wrongly and he is so sensitive that it really 
crushes him.  Of course, this has always been one of the problems.  
Even just light teasing can set him off as he was taking it personally. 
He has gotten a little better at it but a lot of times at school when 
_mom_ can't be right there it really makes for a long day as he will 
dwell on it all day long.  I know kids as a rule can and will be cruel. 
My son is a little on the chunky side and not as quick or good as some 
of the other kids in sports related activities.  So needless to say 
they poke fun at him and that ruins the whole day.  Even with 
medication it doeesn't  seem to alleviate the pain he feels 
emotionally.. I am certainly open to suggestions on this one also.
 
Academically, he is brilliant.  And as long as I can give him the meds 
then he doesn't have too much of a problem concentrating.
 
Also thanks for the tip on the term _drugs_.  Never thought of it that 
way but it certainly makes sense.
