Those disorders do not exist. ADD and ADHD are just disorders of convience, or a way to have an excuse for drugging your children. Anyway, it's not the kids who are changing, it's the parents.They don't wat to discipline their kids which is why they're so bad.

no. It seems like some children do have ADHD, but not all, and in no way a majority. Unless you work with large groups of children from all walks of life you can't see the differences. There are a lot of adults though that like to say there are a lot of kids with ADHD and that we are using it as an excuse, but once you work with kids you realize that really there aren't a ton of kids diagnosed with ADHD, there are some. More kids have weird allergies, that probably are just the kids not liking something, such as a kid whose parents swore she was allergic to frozen broccoli, but fresh broccoli was fine.

I used to get pissed off at all these fancy names and/or "illnesses" that most people grew up with in the past, but then I started realizing, that IF the problem is in fact medical, and if in fact the child in question has it, then isn't it a good thing to fix or help it? So, I guess my answer is yes, but it's a good thing :)
What I do NOT like or approve of, is how many parents put their children on "baby sitter drugs" like Paxil and such, WOW!

They all do....doctors realize that parenting a zombie is much easier than parenting a boisterous normal kid, they know that the parents WANT their kids doped up, plus they get a kickback from the drug companies.

yeah it does. but nowadays it's just like they decide to label kids with that cause kids are just hyper so might as well label them and get money for the check-ups and pills.
