This article from MedicalXpress reports on a different way of looking at ADHD:
Hyperactivity seems to be the result of not being able to focus one's attention rather than the other way around. This was proposed in an article in PLOS ONE, written by researchers at Radboud university medical center and Radboud University. It seems to suggest that more attention should be given to the AD than to the HD component.
ADHD is a combination of having difficulties with focusing one's attention (attention deficit, AD) and overly active, impulsive behaviour (hyperactivity disorder, HD). Interestingly enough, many people often struggle with a combination of both characteristics. Very often they are both easily distracted and impulsive, in other words, both AD and HD. "Which leads to the question of whether this involves a correlation, a coincidental combination, or perhaps a causal relation," states computer scientist Tom Heskes.
[...] "This causal relation was also suggested in early psychiatric literature," says psychiatrist Jan Buitelaar, "but as far as we know there was never any hard evidence supporting this claim. It's interesting to see that this mathematical approach enables us to talk with more certainty about a causal relation. And it would be even more interesting, for example, to study whether we can find a more neurological basis for that relation.

ADD is bullshit parents use to justify their kids' bad behavior.
Yes, some kids are more restless than others. Yes, some people think faster than others. Yes, some peoples' minds gravitate to different thought processes more than others.
Frankly it's fucking amazing that people are wearing their victimhood on their sleeve like a badge of honor.
In other news, "restless leg syndrome" has been renamed to "get some fucking exercise."

They say my kid has it, but I know it's just a trendy misdiagnosis. I just beat him until he decides to behave.

I am so glad you were the one to say it.
When I wrote the above I was hoping that the person to say it would so obviously a complete cunt and lo and behold enter the biggest troll cunt on this forum: Ethanol-Fueled.
So thank you, so very much you so obviously trolling alcoholic nutjob who thinks that by wearing his alcoholism on his sleeve it will protect himself from it.
PS: I was expelled from kindergaten as a child in the late 70's when that was not a thing...
PSS: I also whacked my dad in the head with a heavy 1970's jug chord while he was sleeping...
PSS: Those are not the only stories I have...

But if you had the balls to do someone who will fight back against you like that you wouldn't be bragging about your temper tantrums on the internet

I was not bragging. I was talking about how some kids are at the extreme end and his point was stupid. (which it was supposed to be because he is a professional troll)
You mistake it for bragging since that is what you would do, I understand that.
Don't touch me with your shit stick though...
