In recent years those who have opted to have sections for convenience sake far outnumbered the ones who, like your sister, really needed one to save a life.

They tried to tell me my son had ADHD when he was four. I told them he was a four-year old boy and they should mind their own business while his mother and I raised him.

He’s now an Eagle Scout, a fine student and a wonderful young man. They’re trying to medicate the boy out of the little boy and it’s a disgrace.

We didn’t have time (and money) for all this ADHD crap, so we chose to spank instead.

No. I do have a wealth of knowledge and experience on the topic and have two highly gifted, high schieving boys.

they are doing very well, mostly because I knew what to avoid and who to trust when it came to education and medicine and drugging children.

There is no such thing as ADD or ADHD. The therapists put a number of different tests together, to the results that the schools and parents were looking for.

Mostly so they could feel ok about drugging boys- and some girls into compliance of lazy parents and a poorly educated public school system.

That is the truth.

“closer to the truth than you realize”

Wrong I realize it in technicolor.I was a custodian in a Ct elementary school.
Every parent should be required to spend a week in the “background” as I was.
