Are the meds working?

Ok, while Josh is lying on the couch (see below) I am talking with Brandon during breakfast. We are trying new dose of ADHD meds and in the second month. Brandon does have an IEP - mainly for math. Gets special help at school for it.

M: "Is the medicine working for you?
B: "I think so, but not sure"
M: "Honey do you think they work or don't you notice a difference?"
B: "Well I guess yes and no."
M: "Can you be more specifice with a yes or no?"
B: "Well I think they are working but no it isn't working because I still don't understand math."
M: "Math is very difficult to learn and it is ok if you don't understand it, just keep trying."
B " ok" and he looks relieved.

So I am thinking does he thinks the medicine will make him have all the answers?? Or is he more aware of what he doesn't know?
