Well lemonhead,my son's school has also brought it to our attention,he's to star obsevation by a proffesional psycho...after new years.,but in my opinion they have been over reacting,the teachers.

Did you know that many of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD could be caused by exposure to Lead and other toxic metals?

Lead is a potent toxin very commonly associated with a host of neurobehavioral problems in children including hyperactivity attention deficit and other learning disorders. A leading expert on the effects of lead toxicity in children Dr. H.L. Needlemen of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School has conducted scores of studies over the last 20 years clearly establishing the link between lead levels in children and specific hyperactive and attention deficit behavior traits.

Follow-up studies indicate that these effects often persist into adulthood.
According to the AACAP an estimated one out of every six children in the United States has blood lead levels in the toxic range. What's more researchers have discovered that the amount of lead necessary to produce central nervous system effects is far lower than previously realized.

Make sure that your water is properly filtered and that the kid (s) have a healthy diet,such as plenty of fruits and vegs...and don't worry too much.Hell I dismissed it when they first told me about my son 'showing'symtoms.But i did open a couple of books on the subject and tried to find out what the symtoms might be like and what could we possibly do about it without the use of drugs such as 'Retilin'..

I find this thread so funny b/c in all the thread of people showing proof I have not found one reference to the DSM-IV and I doubt most of you have even read the criteria for the diagnosis of AD/HD(that’s the real name)

So read

edschool.csuhayward.edu...

The fact is that it is a real disorder linked to a lack and imbalance of neurotransmitters. You wouldn’t doubt epilepsy or autism but the problem with AD/HD is ignorance and believing what they have heard.

It has NOTHING to do with discipline

Simple carbs (sugar) has been shown to trigger episodes of AD/HD the same way flashing lights can sent epileptic people in to seizures.

And yes it is a very very misunderstood condition and many children are diagnosed with only a couple of the criteria. While you should not turn a child in to a zombie medication is very effective in more sever cases in helping children begin to deal with AD/HD. Parents I have seen are more aped to misunderstand and want to medicate.

While a lot of the conditions required to diagnose AD/HD are seen in child hood that are nearly not as severe. Take not paying attention…heck part of being a kid is not paying attention very well and tends to forget. But when you tell a child something and with in a min forgets very consistently there is a problem.

ADD is a very misunderstood and over treated condition that is why there is so much ignorance about it.
