From the sensational new New York Times article:
I promised to reveal “the natural fix for ADHD.”
So, here it comes.
Both parts.
Part A:
Adults should find a job that is suitable for them!
But wait, there’s more!
Part B :
Here it comes – wait for it. – Wait for it. – Wait for it. –
Schools should adjust to fit children’s needs!
Let me repeat that. Schools should adjust to fit children’s needs.
Wow! Who’d a thought it?! What a novel concept! Bet you didn’t see that one coming!
Yes, kids will do better in a school that fits their needs. But they’ll still forget their homework, unless there’s no homework. They’ll still blurt out. Fidget. Daydream. Have trouble getting along with other kids. Lose their pencils, and their gloves, and their hats. Etc.
Point being, if the environment is just right, kids and adults will have less trouble from their symptoms, and they’ll have maximum opportunity to excel, but they’ll still have ADD ADHD, won’t they?
But there’s still more to say about this article.
One thing startled me, about the stimulants.
And there’s some interesting science; may I even say, nuggets, hidden in the BS.
More next time.

This sounds very similar to the same kind of moronic ‘experts’ who appear in British press every year to make a little fame for themselves and say ADHD doesn’t exist (and/or dyslexia, autism and a range of other ‘hard-to-define’ conditions which are common). It’s laughable that the conclusion is what it is – dismiss the condition completely and then say schools should adjust to handle it anyway! Brilliant.
