I hope you are right. But it makes you wonder why only "now" are we "discovering" AHDH and yet somehow for thousands of years people had kids who didn't pay attention and yet they managed without drugs.
Everyone says ADHD is over-diagnosed yet no one is ever the one whose kid was the mis-diagnosis.
I have a valid opinion in this, because, as I said in an earlier post, I would have been ADHD and drugged. And I firmly believe that the cost of that drugging would have been a certain intense creativity that has made me quite successful.
I learned self-control. I learned to manage my emotions. With no drugs. Nothing was stolen from me. But my (late) Mom had to pay the price along the way. I am not sure if she would say it was worth the price. But I would put real money that she would say that she would prefer me as myself than a semi-zombied drug-dependant
But I can't raise your kids and I can't know your situation. I merely put it to you to reconsider the long-term results of drugs as a therapy. When does it end? What has been lost?
