One person says it's BS (me), one person calls it "made up", one person calls it "real". Makes ya wonder.
It seems that the "real" crowd not only ignores the context, but adamantly REFUSES to take it into account. What context? The context of the made-up constraints/expectations/etc. of our so-called civilized society. If one doesn't easily fit into and comply with mainstream standards, one is likely to be labeled as abnormal or diseased, and in need of treatment. So, which is made up - the disease or the narrow definition of "normal".
Bottom line is: with ADHD and many other "diseases", the context cannot be ignored, or you're only working with part of the picture. Is "help" only limited to facilitating fitting into the mainstream?
