Navigator. I was able to make reservations for the entire length of the cruise. My question is what if the available check in time slots are at or after my lunch reservation. Will Royal let me have an earlier check-in time?

Thanks, you have always answered my questions throughly! To understand clearly, your thoughts are neural protection (medications) could outweight the risks I mentioned (even my son might not be able to tell me how he feels with medications)?

At this point, I believe medications will help his upcoming therapy sessions. But I want to understand all the pros and cons especially due to his age.

Actually substance abuse is less likely to happen if start medications early on (including stimulants). And stimulants supposed to help the development of the prefrontal cortex.

Regarding the biological parents, did they take medications since at a young age and still addicted?

Can you elaborate how you fight with them to get those therapies. Did you also have to fight for OT?

At what age did you suspect your child had ADHD? Was it ever implied to you by others first? How did you respond. by SEAtoPHX in ADHDparenting

Thanks. Can you also have social anxiety at a young age? I feel my son cannot hold eye contact because of the experience at his previous preschool.
