"It all boils down to that stigma of getting a mental diagnosis. There's such a negative connotation ... that people can't help but feel like their children aren't perfect if they get that diagnosis. So they may be thinking that children with ADHD are not imperfect, but that they are actually more special in some way."

I think this quote nails the whole thing. MY child isn't a brat! She's special!

special is right, for some reason we can think/rationalize quicker than most people, ive had A.D.D (which is pretty much the same thing, except im not hyper all the time)

only negative thing about it is that concentration can be hard but other than that its a blessing in disguise,
