In high school, I had to do a research paper and it was a huge part of passing that year. If you didn’t do well on this paper, you were going to really struggle to get your credits.
I chose to study ADHD and the prescription of medication for it. I honestly did it as a joke, because everyone used to tell me I definitely had it, but I was never formally diagnosed.
It turned into a total rabbit hole. I found all sorts of data on sky rocketing diagnoses, the effects of the drugs, the fact that doctors didn’t have a standardized way to diagnose, and on and on.
At this point, I pretty firmly believe ADHD isn’t “real”. I think everyone, boys and men in particular, have things that interest them more than others, which results in a natural disinterest in everything else.
Between that and this wild expectation we now have on kids to sit still in a classroom, I totally believe this whole thing is a psyop. I’m leaning that way on autism too, at least for the more “mild” cases.
