A similiar article was posted on FR a few weeks back, only it had a bit more information.
What this article isn’t telling us is that late maturation equals more growth of neural networks in the brains of children with ADD/ADHD. Omega-3 oil helps, as does L-Tyrosine (which fosters the growth of neurons). When these children do mature and if they have learned to control impulsiveness (haven’t started using alchohol or drugs) they are very intelligent.
if they were taking something remotely natural instead of stimulants to deal with it until they closed the three year development gap, they are almost virtually certain to be in the highest intelligence grouping.
Unfortunately, tens of millions didn’t make it without being drugged (ie, stunted). I don’t think we’ll see the real damage for another 10-20 years when all of these kids are in their 30-50s and we are relying on them to run our country. I’ll be you we never have a presidential candidate who was on Ritalin.
