This doyletics question was posed by a member of the World-Wide Doyletics List How would you go about helping a child J___, one of a set of twin boys, that is hyperactive?
My wife, Del, had twin boys from her first husband. They were identical twins, so identical that their hearts beat at the same time and rate. What’s important about that is this was before ultrasound imaging technology and the doctor could only discern ONE baby as present. Del was gaining too much weight for one baby, so he prescribed a diet pill for her. Guess what as the drug-de-jour for dieting? AMPHETAMINES! Guess what amphetamine does for one? You guessed it — it’s popularly called SPEED, because it causes the body’s processes to speed up. And Del because of this iatrogenic screw-up ended up with TWO HYPERACTIVE boys. Her twins were given SPEED while still in the womb. They survived thanks to prodigious efforts by their mother to raise them and corral them and keep them out of trouble, etc. Both are celebrating their 35th birthday in a couple of days and are fine young men I had the good fortune and challenge to meet and help raise from eight years-old on. Now back to J___’s hype
