I am certain I would have been pumped full of Ritalin. No doubt. My parents just didn’t know what to do with me sometimes.
only 1 mil?
The way they slap the diagnosis on every other kid (especially to neuter boys for doing actual boy-like things) I’d have figured it to be higher.
Ditto. I was 6 days under the cutoff for being in the next grade so, consequently, I was younger than all my classmates. "Can't sit still" (still can't), "Can't focus"(because I learn very fast and the topic bores me, notice I got an A?). I would have been a doped up zombie.
Me too. My early Conduct Grades were "C", with notes like walks and talks, which meant I was a 7 year old who didn't sit down and shut up for 8 hours a day.
Well Excuse Me!
At 7, I should have had about 4 hours of class mixed with 4 hours of running, jumping, screaming, ... outside.
