"the parents of the more than six million children who have been diagnosed with ADHD would likely disagree".

Parents don't say this, and it's irrelevant anyways. Parents respond to what schools say, because they trust the "system". ADHD is a natural state of human existence, else you will have to prove that there's some kind of disease being transmitted en mass.

The diagnosis doesn't exist across most of the world, and they don't treat it with meth like the U.S. does. Remove kids from u.s. schools they rarely have a problem. Humans are not designed to live in classrooms and "play nice" all day. Humans are animals, especially children.

- has ADHD.

Just put a photo of my dad by the story, it will suffice for all of the threads of trivialization, lack of empathy, and inability or unwillingness to understand.

MMm, but it _is_ over diagnosed and medicated.
