1/27/2014 7:22:16 PM | Thanks for your intelligent and considered response… and for reading my blog. I am endlessly frustrated by the misinformation and societal bias we have to fight as ADHDers. As ADHD diagnoses increase, it troubles me that our society’s reaction is to blame the diagnosis. Apparently, it doesn’t occur to anyone that the problem is the historical standard of radical underdiagnosis. It troubles me that there is a portion of our society which steadfastly refuses to support something that helps so many people. It makes me wonder what their underlying motivations are. Especially when considering that pretty much all reputable studies demonstrate that the best long term outcomes are with those of us who get meds and some sort of behavioral intervention too. |
