ADHD is a disability now?

Has been for years.

Many many ADHD kids receive SSI benefits of $579.00 per month (you tax dollars) for having ADHD or some other "learning disability."

They get social security money? I know a kid with spina bifida who gets the money, but I had no idea an ADHD kid could get it too. Wow!

Wow. Where do you get your information? My kid has had ADD and other "learning disabilites" for 19 years and it has cost us a lot of our own money and even more time to get him the extra help he needs.

Wish us lazy parents would have known that our boy's problems were only caused by our laziness and the school's greed...and all this time we could have actually gotten on the public dole!

Man, that would have saved us private school costs and private tutor costs; as well as the doctors, tests, special diets, behavior therapy and all that worry we went through to get that boy through school and into college!
