[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the reason 25% of boys have ADHD diagnoses. [/quote]

What is your point here? That we should go back to putting our heads in the sand about how people's brains work? The hesitation anyone should have about better understanding and supporting their child is that they might get flagged on a "wellness camp" list by JFK Jr., on his eugenics nazi kick. [/quote]

That ADHD is hugely overdiagnosed especially in boys. And this is chapter 1 in how it happens. [/quote]

I don't totally disagree with you, but I think chapter 1 is how schools are run. Even boys' schools make them sit in desks all day, often don't differentiate, don't give enough recess, etc. It's not over-diagnosed if we require kids to live life in this way. The hard part for parents is figuring out how to get the best environment possible, reducing need for medication, but that's hard. Most American schools are really weak and behind the research.

Medicating kids because they slightly do not fit into their “Big 3” kindergarten class is crazy. [/quote]
