"ADHD is naughty boy syndrome"

My DD has suspected ADHD. I'm fed up with my mum/dad and my MIL/FIL, describing it as 'naughty boy syndrome'. My DD isn't exactly 'naughty'. Is this type of assumption going to continue throughout her whole life? Sad

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports about this thread.

We have been through and removed any posts that we felt broke our Talk Guidelines. We have noticed that many of the deletions have been for disablist posts.

Do take a look at our This Is My Child Campaign especially the Myths about Special needs (specifically the myth about behaviour disorders and 'good' behaviour) and perhaps consider the challenges many parents of children with disabilities, or who have disabilities themselves, face on a daily basis.
Mumsnet exists to make parent's lives easier and if there's one thing we could all do with, it's some understanding and moral support.
