It's a shame Nadia has gone, she probably knows of a homeopathic remedy or two for ADHD.

That's exactly what it is.
Disability discrimination? Hahahaha. Saying you don't agree with something is how science works, it's not a crime. Many well respected clinicians, scientists, doctors and journalists also claim it is fictitious. Are you going to jail all of them as well? Hahaha.

It is sad about Harvey, but you forget that Katie H. also suffers from nocturnal epilepsy, resulting in many hospital admissions, including dislocation of her clavicle. Not in the same league as Harvey, however how would you handle regular clonic-tonic seizures?

I notice that those saying ADHD is misdiagnosed in so many children still haven't provided robust EVIDENCE upon numerous requests.
And by evidence I don't mean what you've read in a newspaper, website or heard somebody else say.

One of Harveys many problems is that he is forced to travel 100 miles a day. It can't be much fun for him.

I would hope it would give me compassion and insight into people that are born with disabilities and conditions, I would hope I would not be purposefully ignorant.

His school was closed, they were not allowed to set up a Free School and Katie wanted a school where Harvey will learn things....He can talk, he is good at art, he has a great memory too. Katie liked the school because it had desks, not just a carpet. Harvey has a chance to be good at things, instead of merely disabled. I am sure he is used to it and Katie has said Harvey will always live with her. She can't really move closer to the school because of her shared custody arrangements and the schooling of Junior and Princess. She does her very best for Harvey.
yes a very silly comment although i agree that sometimes adhd is used as an excuse for bad behaviour.

And many of the medical community are not.
ADHD, as a diagnosis, is a bit like IBS in that when there is something going on but the clinician does not know what it is, they go with these labels in many cases.
This does not mean that it is being 'wrongly diagnosed' because the symptoms can be quite varied within the spectrum, so it would be more accurate to say that ADHD is poorly, or rather widely defined.
There is, however, an incentive to diagnose this condition since it triggers extra funding for the fundholder GP. Extra funds also become available to the school and the child's family.
What surprises me more than anything about ADHD is the official NHS front line advice about it: Unknown cause and management using drugs. There is a large amount of evidence pointing to sugar, excitotoxins and other dietary causes for the symptoms associated with 'ADHD', and similarly successes for treating these symptoms by modifying the diet.

Very eloquent post. I was a psych nurse for 12 years and so little is known about even the major mental illnesses. Just because someone's behaviour improves when given a psychotropic or major tranquilliser doesn't suggest an organic condition. If any of us took said meds we would be pretty relaxed too.
But the route cause of ADHD isn't identified.
There is no way the amount I people that claim to have dyslexia have it, it's a rare disorder
