THANK YOU!
I was reading all the other comments and just wanted to scream "YES BUT ITS NOT THAT TYPE OF WORLD!!!". If the world was perfect and people were able to succeed in life just as they are, then that would be great. But its not. There are standards and expectations and whether they are fair or not, those are the thoughts and perceptions that run the world.
For a six year child to be told he is lazy, bad, and even worse, stupid, is so unfair.
If the medication helps him realize that he is not any of those things, but a very special little kid then I say the medicate away. After he is old enough to stand up on his own and tell those people that dont think like he does to go F off, then he can rethink his "treatment".
Until then, after you hear something over and over again, you start to believe it, and thats when the criminal behaviour starts and you are no longer just different, but dangerous.
