We had a cure for ADD/ADHD when I was growing up. Its called spanking. Worked every time.
Yes, many children are probably misdiagnosed with this diease but for those that truly have it, the medication is a godsend. It makes them able to function on an acceptable level. ADD is most closely related to Autism for those that have it and they need help to function.
People who say a spanking will cure it are kidding themselves. A spanking won't knock depression out of you any more than it will make a person with ADD able to control themselves and focus. It is not willful misbehavior but a total inability to focus and retain information.
i agree.
Yup. And the vocal "but its real my shrink said so crowd" which even permeate the fr will never believe it.
Obviously you have never known anyone with real ADD/ADHD, and the spanking must have jarred your brain, because your post is stupid.
LOL. Reminds me of a classic Cheech and Chong bit about "Jimmy" who was taking piano lessons and always screwing up and not paying attention. Then a friend of the piano instructor said "let me give it a try." Then he takes a bottle, smashes it, and says "You see this? The next one is going through your kneecap." After that the kid played perfectly.
