And having some form of ADHD myself as well, I'll attempt to keep this response somewhat under the 4.3 second range or thereabouts. :) Precisely! Parents (and society in general) tend to view anyone "different" as having something wrong with them, and therefore having to be "fixed". I believe this comes both from fear, the media and a lack of education on the subject. And you're right, meds don't help the matter much, they just create a semi-stifled frustrated person. I believe a re-education for parents is in order. Thanks for your response. Hey Chris,

Kinda reinforces the point :P Secondly, the one line here that stands out for me the most is in parens. "(for those things that catch their interest)" Having, I'm sure, some form of ADD or ADHD, I can honestly say you have about 2.5 - 4.3 seconds to catch my attention before all hope if lost. The reason ADD / ADHD kids get put on meds is because their interests don't align with what their parents had in mind for them. More often then not if little Jimmy doesn't wana play baseball, it's because theres something wrong with him. _NOT_TRUE_ ... Jimmy would just rather be doing something else, except it. Nurture it. Don't dumb him *down*, lift him *up* and help him reach his goals. Show him what it's like to be helpful, and you'll create a helpful person. First off, I love the google ads on this page.

So, conveniently for those not blessed with ADHD, they labeled it as a disorder and proceeded to attempt to sedate and/or stuff pills down the throats of people who don’t know better, in the hopes of making them conform – So they don’t threaten their perfect little world." Keep fighting the system!!! We need to educate people!
