That would be a great way to deal with it if it were not for the fact that the child’s future might be completely changed because they are failing in school and constantly getting in trouble for not paying attention and following directions. Waiting for the ‘cure’ may mean throwing away all the child’s opportunities at a decent life.

By the way, I also believe that ADD and ADHD is way over diagnosed. But I have a child who is autistic in every sense of the meaning and there are some similarities between autism and ADD/ADHD that some even put them in the autistic spectrum (again, I don’t agree that these with this grouping of ADD/ADHD with autism, but the similarities are there).

Einstein was a very slow child and was often reprimanded by his teachers due to his stubborn unwillingness to study as they saw fit.

Grandma Moses wasn’t born at 70, she just made it look as though she had.
