"ADHD on the track"

Here is another nice article about sports and ADHD. We have been urging our son to run as a menas of managing his ADHD. Now, he is training for a half-marathon that he will run with me in the fall. He is doing the half-marathon as a fundraiser for the Tourette Syndrome Asociation. I have to admit, however, that recently exercise has had no impact at all on O's distractibility.

What is the long-term impact of using ADHD medications?

Thanks to Carolyn K. for the heads-up about this article from Scientific American Mind.
