That’s not the question. The question is, “Is there a freeper whose kids are NOT dignosed as ADHD!?”

Just about all of them.

This ADHD crap is just that, crap, along with the other dreamed up popular maladay, what is it, AUTISM!

What a vile thing to say.

And you haven't been around here long enough to know you have no clue what in heaven's name you are talking about.

Being here for a specific length of time has nothing to do with knowledge or the ability to give an opinion on any given subject. How is it vile to challenge either of these notions. Quite a silly reply, imo.

My opinion is that there are waaay too many diagnoses of at least ADHD (and ADD, for that matter). So many that they are highly suspect. The levels of our children being on drugs is the highest it’s ever been. Sure, the technology may have advanced so much that it is easier to detect, but I still do not buy it. It smacks of trumped up standards of detection to feed the hungry machine of the pharma and medical commmunity.

Re autism, not so much, but again, it seems to be everywhere. Why? Methods of detection? The spread of information by the web? You can tweek the thresholds only so slightly to achieve the desired outcome. These businesses need to be watched closely.
