[QUOTE="Malika, post: 522494, member: 11227"] Umm, just to clarify - and, like you, MWM, not wanting in any way to be contentious or belligerent - it is actually extremely HARD to get a diagnosis of ADHD in France. Believe me, I have been trying for a long time with my son now :) So I don't think it is a case of everything being dressed up as ADHD here. What is also confusing on this topic is if you read many diagnosistic check lists for ADHD, they talk about tantrums or rages, at least on an occasional basis - although the rages that are described here do indeed seem to be beyond what one might expect to see with ADHD. I do think it is a confusing picture and I do agree that it is not usual to think of people with ADHD as not being able to function in some general sense, although they may perhaps face extra challenges because of the learning difficulties that often accompany it. But then... I am just on a steep learning curve with all this. [/QUOTE]
