I know this is in the parents and childs part but I find at last I can interact much better wioth other people and I can at last follow conversations between people in a larger group. Before I was on ritalin I used to always have to have a drink before I could even begin to face a social situation. Now I have to make sure that I time my ritalin to cover any social activites especially things like parties at night. Luckily it doesn't keep me awake at night as I have been known to take one at 11.00 at night if we are with friends later. At last I feel social I just now have to practice those skills tha never developed when I was younger.
