take him to a shrink that specializes in treating kids with ADD.

I happen to have ADHD and be Lysdexic. There is medication that can help, but more than that understanding the underlying issues will help your friends family cope.

How old is your friends brother?

I had ADD when I was younger. My mom changed my diet (took out sugar, preservatives, food coloring, stuff like that) to keep me from having to take meds. Also keep him active in sports / activities. Too many parents are lazy and opt for drugs which fucks a kid up more in the long run.

In regard to dyslexia, I'd think it's just a matter of finding an educator who can help train him to read the right way.

what he said...I was dyslexic and all it took was a caring teacher and some learning tests. I found out what ways I learned the best and changed my environment.

ADD can be helped just by changing the diet. Too much sugar is harmful for a child with ADD. Whatver you do, don't turn to drugs. Keep them active in sports

more appropriately, it should be called a scam.
