[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The majority of kids diagnosed with ADHD don't have ADHD.  Their true issue is that they just aren't very bright.  [/b]

Also, future generations will look back at the ADHD and other stimulant meds given so freely to out children, and they will be amazed that we did not realize how tremendously harmful these drugs are.  Sort of the way we look back at Victorians who used to dose up on laudanum, unaware of the terrible consequences to their health.

I've been teaching for a long time.  [/quote]
I used to feel this way until one of my kids was diagnosed.  And no, she’s not dumb, her sibling does not have it/it’s not parenting.   It sucks.[/quote]
+1 When I think about all of my “opinions” about things like this (including “too much funding for special ed”)until I had first hand experience, I cringe. Well aware others will still remain ignorant (and cannot be shamed into compassion so I don’t try and I wish other parents of SN would stop, too— they. do. not. care. I refuse to beg for their understanding), I just say “f em” and keep it moving. It’s enough for me to know I’m doing right by my kid— and that includes demanding “Cadillac” everything regardless if someone else thinks he deserves it.

My unpopular opinion— you can’t have it both ways when you talk about your super advanced kid in one breath but how they’re so disturbed by kids with challenges in the same classroom as they are. I also don’t think all day integrated environments are always the best idea, but some need to accept their kids are just average if they’re thrown off so easily because they aren’t in a classroom with kids who learn exactly as they do. The same principle for the teachers who resent having to teach diverse learners. How good are you really at your job? Not saying incompetent, but maybe you’re just average? Excuse typos,
