I don't dispute that ADHD is an observance of a real phenomenon, but maybe the prevalence of the diagnosis is a result of society overoptimizing human productivity? Having ADHD, especially now that ADD is ADHD-PI, seems very normal these days, but it we treat it more like an affliction than a common behavior the modern world needs more compassion towards.
If I have a child and they seem to have ADHD, I would pull them out of the public school system so as they don't have their time wasted and their esteem destroyed. If the system doesn't become more understanding, then it's up to me. At least then my child can be brought up to learn good coping mechanisms they'd be lucky to otherwise learn before it's too late.
