Plus with primarily hyperactive and combined, often parents take their kids in because they can't handle them acting up. With Ritalin, when the personality is gone, there's no more acting up.. they choose that and go "wow, they're so normal now", not knowing the damage they're doing to their childhood.
That makes sense, it's exactly what happened to me but I got the generic version of Concerta instead.
It kept me shut up, and it kept my conservative parents happy that they no longer had to deal with an autistic child, then wondered why I never developed as a person until I was out of the house.
