Attention Without Deficit At Last?

Peter Hitchens writes:

Research shows that children with ‘ADHD’ can control their ‘symptoms’ by simply exercising self-control.

Of course they can. The day is coming when this bogus complaint will be laughed out of the medical textbooks, and the drugging of healthy children with methylphenidate will be regarded with the same horror we now reserve for lobotomy.

Why don’t the ‘bad science’ experts ever turn their searchlight on this subject?

ADHD does not exist.

Mostly for being born boys rather than the girls wanted and expected by their mothers (more and more of whom know little or nothing about men or boys anyway), half a million British children are now drugged up to their eyeballs with Ritalin and such like as "treatment" for this and various other non-existent conditions.

In fact, having long since decided that femaleness, simply in itself, was a medicable condition requiring the pumping of women's and girls' bodies full of highly poisonous substances in order to stop those bodies from doing what they do naturally, we now seem to have decided to treat maleness in the same way, and to get in even younger than we did with femaleness.

Meanwhile, prisoners are to be tested routinely for this non-existent condition. Criminal behaviour is to be defined as a manifestation of ADHD, or else why bother testing prisoners, in particular and as such, for it? So they will all be found to have it. But they don't have it. No one has it. It does not exist.
