If that's the case, Mr. Hannity and I need to have a discussion.

It's very easy to poke fun at kids with these disabilities - even though they're not conveniently obvious about it, and aren't in wheelchairs and leg braces.

Hanity does it. Rush does it. Most FReepers do it.

I have never heard them make fun of the kids, only at the ridiculous quasi-medical mumbo jumbo that causes these normal bored kids to get drugged out of their minds so they can be good little automatons. Many ADD kids, can sit and play a video game for hours, or any other thing they are interested in.

They make fun of the system, and criticize the parents who fall for the lies and allow their children to be zombies for the comfort of the teachers.

For what it's worth, there are two methods of diagnosing ADD. First, and this is the "usual" method, is the behavioral diagnosis. This happens when the liberal teacher decides he or she can't handle an active child and demands that the child be subjected to drugging to prevent further disruption of the teacher's train of thought.

Second, there is a clinical test which measures the 'cortical slowing' in a child (or adult). This measurement, which quantifies the ability of the person to react to specific stimulus within a controlled background of non-related stimuli, has been proven to show that about 50% of behavioral diagnoses are wrong.

Let me say that again... 1/2 of all behavioral diagnoses of ADD are false. It is because of this huge percentage of misdiagnoses that ADD has become the disbelieved affliction it is today. The misdiagnosed children do not react to pharmaceutical, nutritional, or other intervention by improving the root issue - which is a behavioral problem. Clinically diagnosed kids do react to these therapies more positively, because the therapies do affect the root cause of their issue - being a dopaminergic system deficiency in their frontal lobe.

Hannity doesn't "poke fun at kids with these disabilities."

He thinks ADD is overdiagnosed; and, when diagnosed, overmedicated.
