ADHD is bogus. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t kids who exhibit the “symptoms” in question, just that those symptoms are due to parenting, not brain abnormalities.See post 148. Some kids do have brain abnormalities that are very subtle and do not interfere with gross motor functioning per se, but do interfere with learning and attention and can be very frustrating, as they are independent of intelligence. A child may feel very burdened by mistakes or irregularities caused by incomplete brain circuitry, especially so when their overall intelligence is high.

Please inform me as to what physical tests are used to detect these abnormalities and how they show up on the given medical devices (e.g., brain imagery).

(if disdain of homosexual behavior is "bigotry," is it any wonder hostility to Islam is "racism?")
