[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 639836, member: 11791"] This statement, to me, is one good example. Another major factor is the significant increase in screen-time and corresponding decrease in face-time, and the increase in "activities" and the decrease in family down time. ADHD (and other conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) have existed for generations. But for the most part, they were not a "problem" (unless extremely severe). If you couldn't handle school, you quit and went to work. You found an niche and filled it. There was even consideration made for the "village idiot" - who seems to have been someone with MR or other serious issues, but who was capable of doing "something", even if it was just shoveling out barns. Today's one-size-fits-all mentality is toxic. [/QUOTE]
