DS2 (9) has started ADHD medication this week, I know it is the best thing for him to try it but I have this awful feeling inside, I am worrying it will change him and every time I think about his funny 'quirks' eg saying random things in the middle of a totally unrelated conversation, bursting into song randomly when trying to concentrate I just feel sad.
I know deep down I am being daft but can anyone give me any advice/share experiences to help me.
I feel totally selfish worrying about these things but he has the most lovely, funny personality and I am so inexperienced in all this. Diagnosis for ASD and ADHD have happened very quickly so it's all a bit of a whirlwind. Disclaimer - I do know IABU and completely irrational but I feel very alone as in RL everyone just says how positive etc it is, even DH doesn't get why I am out of sorts over it.
Thanks all!
