I have been under the impression that it just a natural occurrence for humans, and that in our society that it seems negative, in actuality ADD/ADHD people are just specialized at living life a little bit differently, leaning on the theory that all are born for specialization and purpose built into them, (by scientific necessity or God).
Edit: I guess to say further that since our society was looking to demonize everything that would actually help us as a society, our schools prevent these children/adults from succeeding.
I agree completely. If a child is eating dirt, rather than the parent teaching the kid to not eat dirt, they instead go on facebook and complain or look up answers on google: "why does my child eat dirt, what's wrong with him?" And too often, the replies are "omg I think it's a sign of ADHD."
Then the ADHD becomes an excuse to not be a good parent. If you're over at their place for a dinner, and the kid starts acting up, the parent says "oh, he has ADHD, he can't help it." And then the kid hears that and starts living in the belief that they are suffering from this disease, and it allows the kid to also play up to it and be at their worst. It becomes a crutch for both parent and child to hand over their pride and respect and responsibilities to the state.
And government happily uses it to create more teaching jobs (an extra teacher or two in every classroom) and bolster their own job reports. They also create more and more institutions to handle these made up diseases and others, bringing in more taxes and domination over the people.
