Thank you Skyfloating for a very interesting thread.

If I may, I'd like to add some personal experiences with ADHD. It all started when I moved back to Norway from the states. I was staying with my mother and her young son (my little brother). He was diagnosed with ADHD and she told me that he *has to get away with certain things* because he can't control himself...

Well, needless to say that pretty much meant anything he did wrong. The psychiatrist she visited with him told her that he had to have more leeway then most children due to his hyper activity. It's just my mother took that as "everything he does wrong". I.e. no discipline for the the things he did which were wrong. Well, that stopped after I came back "home". My little brother quickly realized that the stunts he pulled with my mother wouldn't fly with me and that for the wrongs he did, he'd have to sew the repercussions. (i.e. cleaning up after his mess, cleaning up his crap laying everywhere and of course, time outs which he COULD.NOT.STAND!)

My mother went to the hospital for a small operation. She was gone for a week. During this time, my little brother acted like any other kid. Everyone was impressed, they thought he was going on some kind of new ADHD medicine but all it was, was showing him that his crap doesn't fly. He straightened up until my mother came back. So I feel that ADHD is simply lack of discipline and following through on punishment like time-outs and making him clean up after himself when he decides to make a mess.

To put it bluntly, she's an enabler and her lack of discipline is what's causing my little brother to act the way he is.

My own experience of course, your mileage may vary.

I consider the OP to be not merely stupid but evil.

ADHD is a multi-factorial disease.

I had one client with symptoms of "ADHD", whose problem was colon toxicity. Bowels moved once in only several days. The system was acid and toxic, irritating the nerves. That was the reason that the client could not sit still in class. The parents had taken client to any number of doctors, none of which were even assessing or addressing that issue. The toxicity was so bad that a skin condition developed, a blood condition developed, which finally led to kidney failure and....

A kidney transplant.

All because the bowels did not move.

This cost thousands of dollars in surgical fees; and, now, at least a thousand dollars a month in drug costs for suppressing graft rejection.

Optometrists with experience in orthoptics have also seen that there is a neurological component to these "ADHD" symptoms, which can be resolved with orthoptics training having to do with the resolution of "visual suppression" (?).

An opthalmologist I know has addressed these problems with the use of 'plane prisms' in glasses, although the children often have 20/20 vision.

Sometimes there is a nutritional component having to do with the malabsorption of magnesium.

So, the real problem here is not that "ADHD" does not exist.

The problem is that a multi-factorial disease--which needs to be assessed from several different perspectives--is being treated exclusively with the use of drugs in order that the pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars in profits.

There is additional information about this whole problen on other threads on this forum as well as on my website:

A gift you say? I am 46 and was recently diagnosed here in the uk. I am on non stimulant meds and my life has changed completely for the better. The "gift" destroyed my life, i have never held onto a relationship, always some other guy bringing up my kids. Never could do well work wise, always watching not very bright people getting promotion so changing jobs. Never able to sit and concentrate for more than ten minutes. Always losing it. Now i am so chilled, happy and looking to start a degree course. I dont mean to insult you but i would not whish this gift upon my worst enemy!!!!!!!
