As the author of Ritalin Nation I can only say Bravo

In the 1950's, gallup polling had chewing gum and cutting the queue the biggest problems in school; where was ADHD then?

Putting symptoms in a psychiatry manual is toxic. Put them in the environment and history

Well, I don't know where was it then, but I can clearly see where it is now.

Severe case: a person takes wrong direction at roundabout. Another day they move into opposite direction lane. And then they don't see traffic light. And again. Overall they drive ok. This never happens on Ritalin and some of the others. Regularly without medication. MRI is okay by the way, no organic changes. The person is a good engineer, not a junkie.

So, if you say that the syndrom does not exist - I could very much wish you to meet someone like that. Preferably not on while you drive in opposite direction.
