I don't think ADHD is a real condition
some kids just need a fucking smack and some better parents.

My Headmaster at secondary didn't believe in Dyslexia
He thought kids were just being lazy.

He was really old, though. He's probably dead now.

There is a bit of a difference though
And there is no money to be made diagnosing people with dyslexia, whereas drug companies are making lots of money giving people ritalin and stuff, pluss parents would rather blame a condition that just accept that they are shit parents and have a total cunt for an offspring.

Interesting points all
Also worth noting that ADHD has only been "diagnosed" in recent years

I didn't used to believe in ADHD
But seeing the difference of one of my friend's younger brothers before and after the drugs was a bit of an eye opener.

Just because drugs made a difference to someone
doesn't mean they actually had a problem.
