By becoming ubiquitous, it lost all meaning.
Me too.
In the olden days they were simply called smart-mouthed rotten brats and a few spankings set them straight.
I know it worked on me, the first time I mouthed-off at school and my Dad hat to come home from work and ‘set me straight’
and I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe parents HATE children and want them to sit there like zombies so they invented ADHD to drug them.
War against women? Ha! That was BS, but this is an actual war against boys and childhood.
Though we don't deserve it, may we somehow be forgiven for our foolishness and the damage we've done to those whose care and development we've been entrusted.
May we wake up before we get to where this is leading US to.
Nope you’re wrong. And tons of people have it. They way they can tell is they treat it and the problems go away.
My ex was an elementary school teacher. She would tell parents that their child needed Ritalin.
Who was she to tell these parents that? She was a teacher with a masters degree. It took her four tries and the highest she ever made on her ACT was 16. She pretty much had a cabbage for a brain but she managed to become a public school teacher.
She had big boobs and I was young and stupid. Again, I said, my ex.
Funny, there was no ADHD when I was a kid. Maybe it’s because there was no Ritalin.
[Ritalin-pushers have an incentive to talk up ADHD]
Doctor: no such thing as Attention Deficient Look a Squirrel!
Yep!
Once discipline and consequences have been removed from our schools, and parental control toolboxes, there had to be something to blame.
Add to this, single parent families, or both parents working, and you have a marketplace quite willing to accept the “pill” approach to behavior control.
ADHD certainly exists for those who struggle with it. Are there spoiled brats who are misdiagnosed? Yes. Are there people who are correctly diagnosed? Yes.
You mean these children (mostly boys I might add) are just rotten little brats and typically aggressive as most boys are? I call it FS....football syndrome, i.e., Just gotta smash that kid and take his ball away.
Ding. Ding. Ding. 'Most children diagnosed with ADHD are boys' because most teachers forcing this to happen are liberal feminist womyn who are atheistic man-haters. They hate themselves and God for creating the world and man and woman with very different and distinct gifts and 'wiring'. They refuse to accept the feminine genius that God designed and seek to deny that any difference exists between the sexes. They seek to make this happen by feminizing the boys.
And so they are making our children (mostly boys) pay by drugging them for being boys ....
Sorry but this doctor is a moron. ADHD is certainly over diagnosed, and definitely over medicated, but there really are people that have serious brain chemistry caused difficulties not bouncing off the walls.
I’ve always felt this ‘condition’ was dreamed up as a way to get extra money for parents of ‘disabled’ kids...
ADHD was invented so single mothers could force their kids to keep to a schedule.
