Attention Deficit No More?

Congratulations to Radio Four on last night's The Medicalisation of Normality. Dare we hope that the tide is turning at last?

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 various 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.

But has anybody noticed? Now, that's what I call an attention deficit.

Until now, it seems. Not before time.
