A press release from channel 4, there seems to be very differing views by the medical profession. I have a son with ADHD, he doesn’t have this because schools cancelled corporal punishment or exposure to phones, he was different before school age and has an autistic parent.

  • I fear that this will be a (literal) shitshow.

    I had it professionally recently, where someone told a room full of colleagues, many of whom either had children with or were ADHD diagnosed themselves, that 'in fact ADHD is trauma based'.

    No, ADHD exists, as does trauma, and while they may present similarly in young people, pretending that everything has to be just one thing is frightening and dishonest. Insulting too.
