Objectively child fulfilled criteria for diagnosis of ADDH. He had been adopted at age 2 years 6 months from an orphanage in Eastern Europe. Has shown tremendous progress since adoption. Developmental age around three years. Is drug treatment indicated and what would be the drug of choice? Thank you. Tancred Agius MD MRCP(UK)
