[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 458787, member: 11791"] Malika - 2-5%??? that's NOTHING. In Canada, its generally accepted that somewhere between 7 & 15% of the kids are ADHD. That difference, it has been commented on, can almost be tracked by province/territory. Even conservative school boards here who want to limit the number of cases by playing with numbers... still agree its something like 10%. See what I mean about the ADHD being drained out of places like France? (sometimes we joke here in Canada that 50% of Quebec is ADHD - to the point that it isn't even recognized as a "problem"... and maybe higher for the northlands!) You will be more likely to see ADHD in France, in the larger centres - for a variety of reasons. So, you can get therapist/psychiatrist support for ADHD. But schools are usually way behind the medical curve. Even here. So... if the school hasn't seen many cases - and especially because J. isn't a complete trouble-maker all of the time - they can't quite wrap their brains around it. [/QUOTE]
