Simple explanation for this is that the affected children sleep in homes where the parents are smoking all sorts of **** on an evening. The poor kids are subjected to inhaling this crap as they innocently sleep and wake up half stoned and then are sent to school. Most of these kids are as high as a kite on arrival in the classroom.
I wonder if this is anything to do with preservatives put in food these days. Milk and other dairy products, cheese, keep in the fridge seemingly forever. Bread used to go stale and mouldy within days, now lasts a week. E numbers? Hyper does not even begin to describe the human whirlwind that one young lad I knew who certainly had an allergy (medically diagnosed, before I am pulled up on speculation) to E Numbers.
I don’t recall this condition when I was at school in the 60’s, we had kids that were twats, are they the ones that have a label now? Mind we didn’t eat **** all day long like they do now, no takeaways, proper dinners and teas, makes you think.
Whilst suggesting children shouldn’t be subjected to smoke, particularly cannabis smoke, is sensible the rest of your post suggesting that most children affected by ADHD are because of that is spectacular bollocks.
when I was at school back then we'd be playing football, tag, British bulldogs etc - ie we'd be doing exercise - nowadays they seem to be stuck to their phone, stuck in their bedroom on their fat arses doing **** all - go figure what the problem is
Woo hoo, the posters on Hull City Not606 have found the cause and cure for ADHD, shall we move onto cancer next?
You also had a father who took no nonsense. And not as many single mothers sat about all day. Of course being able to claim benefits for a child with ADHD has absolutely nothing to do with it…
You would be doing that, Charon, and the kids suffering from undiagnosed conditions would be removed from their families and put in borstal or being beaten up and raped by adults in children's homes (hence the scandals and prosecutions ongoing regarding the 1950s to 1990s in thousands of childrens homes across the uk). Medication and the right treatment allows them to have some semblance of a normal family life and future. Some of the responses aren't thought through well.
Probably because you need very severe ADHD to get any benefits, a child actually has to be registered disabled to qualify.
I know I was just pointing out the suggestion that there are more diagnosed because it’s a ticket to benefits is ridiculous
An older relative was shipped off to a "special school" 1950's. As an adult he learnt he was dyslexic. And has never ever talked about his schooldays.
