ADHD Meds

Hello, I had a question regarding my son who is now six. At the age of two, both me and his pediatrician noticed that speech was delayed and also that he seemed lost in his own little world. I also noticed that our son had no regard for danger�prompted from the pediatrician I took our son to the children�s hospital to be evaluated. The doctors found that our son had apraxia, global delays and he might have ADHD, but he was still too young to diagnose. Well, through the course of four years our son has seen a developmentalist and psychiatrist, who both say that our son has ADHD and could benefit from meds. Our son has been beat up, punched at school�teased for the way he talks and he can�t pay attention in class�he is suffering. My ex won�t agree to meds and has called all the Dr�s quacks. My ex says if our son can�t hold still, then he�ll make him and that every kid gets beat up and teased. I have four Dr�s that say our son needs help, but dad say no way, there�s nothing wrong. I�ve always had to go over my ex�s head to help our son, I always have to make appointments when I have him, or dad won�t take him. What do I do? Our decree says that we have to go to mediation, but that takes forever�
