Especially if you call your self a professional.
I have had "professionals" tell me my kid was ADHD.
Turns out she was gifted and talented.
Now graduating high school with scholarship
offers from three of the top schools in the country.

There are NO medical tests to diagnose "ADHD."
Diagnosis is observational. I surely would not
want surgery on my brain based on someone's
observational diagnosis.

Oh, and it turns out, with further investigation
and orthomolecular bio-chemical testing, which does produce
medical test results, my daughter, besides being
incredibly intelligent and talented artistically,
had FOOD allergies. When we modified her diet
and supplemented for deficiencies, which are directly
related to neuro-transmitter activity in the brain, guess
what? The problematic aspects of her behavior
disappeared. The positive aspects of her differences
flourished and propelled her into an AMAZING set
of accomplishments. She has also been in an alternative
education system fro the past four years, for artist children-
and at the age of seventeen has earned her first ]
year of college credit. ADHD my ASS.

Those who stop questioning, stop learning.
For the sake of those you work with- I hope you
will keep asking. Start here, if you are willing to
admit that you may have some things to learn:

"Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD has
been an adult & child
neurologist, in private practice,
for 35 years. Making "disease"
(real diseases--epilepsy, brain
tumor, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
or "no disease" (emotional,
psychological, psychiatric)
diagnoses daily, he has
discovered and described real,
bona fide diseases.
It is this particular medical and
scientific background that has
led him to view the "epidemic"
of one particular
"disease"--Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD)--with increasing alarm.
Dr. Baughman describes this
himself. Referring to psychiatry,
he says:

"They made a list of the most
common symptoms of
emotional discomfiture of
children; those which bother
teachers and parents most,
and in a stroke that could not
be more devoid of science or
Hippocratic motive--termed
them a 'disease.' Twenty five
years of research, not
deserving of the term
'research.,' has failed to
validate ADD/ADHD as a
disease. Tragically--the
"epidemic" having grown from
500 thousand in 1985 to
between 5 and 7 million
today--this remains the state of
the 'science' of ADHD."

In addition to scientific articles
that have appeared in leading
national and international
medical journals, Dr.
Baughman has testified for
victimized parents and children
in ADHD/Ritalin legal cases,
writes for the print media and
appears on talk radio shows,
always making the point that
ADHD is fraudulent--a creation
of the psychiatric-pharmaceutical
cartel, without which they
would have nothing to
prescribe their dangerous,
addictive, Schedule II,
stimulants for--namely, Ritalin
(methylphenindate), Dexedrine
(dextro-amphetamine),
Adderall (mixed dextro- and
levo-amphetamine) and,
Gradumet, and Desoxyn (both
of which are methamphetamine, 'speed,'
'ice').

The entire country, including all
5-7 million with the ADHD
diagnosis today, have been
deceived and victimized;
deprived of their informed
consent rights and
drugged--for profit! It must be
stopped. Now! "
