Alien Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Or...previously kids were labelled bad because no one took the time or had an inclination as to the behaviour of kids? You mentioned one label then go further to say "lots". And they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bi Polar and OCD are completely different from ADHD and are not usually accompanied by uncontrollable rowdy behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 there are other thread (s?) on this elsewhere on the forum. AS someone who has ADHD herself, (I had it before it was widely recognised : At the age of one, my parents asked the doctor to put me on "knock-out drops" because I couldn't/ wouldn't sleep.) I would say it certainly is a real condition. Some children ARE disruptive because of the ADHD. Some children aren't, some are just plain naughty. Others "play up" (like my cousin's lad), when exposed to certain colourants in food and sweets. (such as certain yellow e-numbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what are these 'variations'? Do the labels come in different colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean that just because a person thinks something, it doesn't neccessarily make it true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have moved on from those comforting principles. The human mind and body is very complex. Thanks to the advancement of science we are slowly understanding how we work. How simple it is to point and say "bad boy" when in reality life isn't that simple. You can either recognise that concept or carry on with the equivalent of the Spanish inquisition...you just need a steady outstretched arm with a pointy finger on the end.
