I don't have any stigma against medication, but I do think our current understanding of treating things like ADHD is primitive. I have a kid that's too young for a formal diagnosis, but has a genetic predisposition for it and has a lot of signs. His sensory input issues might be unrelated, but making sure he gets proper proprioceptive and vestibular input help him regulate (a sensory diet--or exercise). As does nightly melatonin to make sure he's sleeping properly. These are things others in his family never had the attention paid to.

A lot of the complaints and stigma I've seen are from people who took medication growing up. They saw the need and value, but loathe the side effects.
