 GP> My daughter has Ausperger's Disorder, so she has an actual

 GP> Vyvanse.

 The seriousness of Asbergers is more the point, than just the
 fact of having it.

 ...

 GP> Several times in the year I thought for sure she was going
 GP> to get expelled, until I finally got that diagnosis from
 GP> her psychologist.  I had to have a meeting with the school

 That can be hard to do. Even the pros aren't all that good at
 diagnosing Asbergers.

 ...

 GP> Now, as for the politics, I think it's ridiculous that you
 GP> have to go through what amounts to a year long process to
 GP> officially have the teachers modify the way they approach
 GP> your child's learning.  My daughter, at the end of all
 GP> this, absolutely hates school, and it's a challenge to get
 GP> there on time everyday.

 Yep, it's absurd. And that needs to be fixed.
