First, I don't believe in ADD...if it does exist, then it is way-over diagnosed. In my travels I have learned that we, especially Americans, tend to blame every problem we have on a disease or a disorder instead of facing the real cause of our problems, or accepting certain truths. Take Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD for example. Too many kids are diagnosed as having this problem. Sometimes kids have trouble paying attention because they are KIDS. Some kids never learn to pay attention and grow up to become adults who never pay attention. I believe that it is over diagnosed.

ADD is just a disorder that scientists have developed, and found drugs to help...so that parents can use a pill to raise their kids. No such thing. Parents out there just need to teach their kids how to function in the real world!!!! Get off your a$$es parents!

Yes, I do sometimes wonder about myself. But I'm sure a very very large percentage of the population could qualify as having ADD.

My attention span is so pathetic. But I know I have ADD for sure because I actually went through the expensive testing.
