Mark my words. I have said this before. ANY prior indication a person has been prescribed Ritalin or the equivalent will be an automatic denial to receive a clear NCIS check when purchasing a gun. Likewise with visits to a psychologist or psychiatrist, any treatment for depression, sleep disorders, or anxiety.

These childhood diagnoses will also affect these kids' ability to join the military, obtain a pilot license, obtain a federal CDL, obtain any security clearance required to work in private industry that works government contracts, etc.

Parents, doctors and school administrators seemingly don't have a clue as to the impact these diagnoses have

Most all (the teachers and doctors) don't really care. They are more interested in a controllable child who causes no problems so they can graduate him/her up to the next grade where they become somebody else's problem.

“Parents, doctors and school administrators seemingly don’t have a clue as to the impact these diagnoses have.”

But more often than not, these diagnoses come with federal money. Parents are whoring their kids out to the government and pharmaceutical companies. And, as you point out, these parents have no idea what they are really signing up for.

They aren’t being herded into the collective farm. They are being baited.
