to think that ADHD/ADD is a load of nonsense?

Are we really producing ever more kids with these conditions or do parents simply need to take back control and realise that, at times, all kids can be obnoxious, loud, defiant, restless and fidgety and that strictly enforced rules for behaviour, lots of TLC, and the occasional smack on the bum may be the way forward?

However, Breton, academics working in various fields who disagree do so on the basis of research, adn they test hypotheses to prove or disprove an idea.

No one is setting out to disprove the existance of ADHD.

They MAY be trying to narrow the margins for diagnosis, and further understand teh neaurological and physiological and psychological impacts of various things that cause such a condition, and working out whether these extant things could be better treated with a more specific diagnosis etc.

they may arrive at conflicting answers, but no one would simply attempt to prove it doesn't exist, and that it had been made up, because it would be of no benefit to anyone
