Risk and Benefit Assessment

In my journey with boy who has ADHD, I have learned that while there is so much information out there, not all of them are true.  In this new age where information is so easily accessible, I have leaned on my skills of medical literacy.  I have also realized that every decision I make requires risk and benefit assessment.  As an anesthesiologist, this skill set comes easy for me because every surgery I take my patient into requires me to perform a risk and benefit assessment.  One of the hopes of creating this space is for me to share with all parents of neurodivergent children out there of ways in which I decipher information accuracy, and how I do a quick risk and benefit assessment before most decisions I make in this journey.
