[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to DC but please don't buy into the whole "how gifted is my child" hype so rampant around here. My kids are intelligent and social, but I have no interest in the gifted hype. In my opinion, around here "gifted" means "ADHD little sh*t whose parents never told them 'no' and whose differences need to be celebrated.'" Very annoying.[/quote]

Please don't judge AAP or ADHD kids.

As someone who is probably ADHD myself and surely was as a kid, but never had to be catered to with a label, I can judge as I like. [/quote]

Too funny!  No one has ever catered to us - what does that even mean?    It is a specific condition with a name that has medical, cognitive, and social implications.  It is only a " label" to people who don't know what they are talking about and are judging.    For some reason you feel entitled to be mean about other people's children and almost sound proud of yourself for judging others. - strange.  I seriously doubt you are ADHD or you would not be so glib.  If you really had it, you would know as it impacts all areas of your life and you would not wish it on anyone.  I have had to educate myself a great deal and have talked many, many adults who are ADHD and none have your attitude.    Okay, I have never gotten upset with someone on this board so won't start here.  I am only responding to you to educate others.  [/quote]
