>>15063879this anti-ritalin anti-adhd bullshit is retarded as fuck, it was from some retarded news media that used a statistic that a huge percentage of students were prescribed ritalin for adhd.
what was the sample population of the statistic? students in fucking special education, at a time when ADHD wasn't over diagnosed, and ADHD students needed SPED.
>>15063885In actual severe cases of ADHD the parent wont be able to adequately educate the student, especially when intensive SpED with specialists is needed and even then it isn't a silver bullet. Discipline also doesn't do absolute jack shit in these cases.
>>15063887yeah snail eater its called 80mg of Dexedrine and fixations
>>15063890yeah, "throwing meds" work when its an actual ADHD case and they actually manage it and provide an adequate dose and potent enough stimulant, otherwise throwing stimulants at a child with just aggression issues and conduct disorder, not ADHD, is a fucking terrible idea lol
>>15063891Attention is not even the main issue with severe ADHD, the main issue is usually task saliency/work completion and some distractibility, and in a lot of cases extreme hyperactivity and impulsivity, then there's also social issues as well, and many symptoms you wouldn't really think of as belonging to ADHD.
