[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sick and tired about hearing about the good old days when kids supposedly didn't have these disorders. Kids absolutely had these disorders, they just weren't treated for them. I am related to some of those kids, now adults, whose lives have been completely stunted by issues that today would be diagnosed and treated. They've had really, really challenging lives. There is no way in hell I would allow my child to suffer like that.

if you think back to when you were a kid I'll bet you can remember some of these kids. They seemed stupid or weird. You didn't hang out with them. They ended up on a different track. Where are they now? Who knows, but not where you want your own child to be.

Seriously, I think some of you have such ignorant blinders on that you don;t even think through what you post.[/quote]

My 50yo brother is a case in point.  Highly-educated and intelligent..Underemployed, disorganized, lone wolf, constantly losing things, forgetting things.  How different his life might have been with support when he was young.[/quote]
