The brain scans don’t show that the behavior is outside the range or the scope of society at large or that it is a permanent condition; they merely show that the activity matches the behavior which is not necessarily destructive.
Read up on what is considered classic “ADD” or “ADHD” and get back to me.
It’s not about external behaviors but internal short circuits etc. The ability to sort thoughts, catagorize, tune out distractions, actually ‘hear’ what is being said over the chaos going on inside the head.
It’s not about ‘bad’ or active children being drugged but about helping kids who are in an internal hell of too much stimulus and unable to get out and interact.
It’s real and I thank God for the Dr.s who treat it.
(Coming from me, that’s a lot ;) )
