She just wanted that extra money she gets in her paycheck for filling the diagnosing quota, that bitch. |
Well I dont think its really about whos getting labeled and who isnt. Its about who has a need and who doesn't. If you have been diagnosed with ADD\ADHD, but need no special attention, and are able to pass your classes. You might want to talk to your doctor about a possible misdiagnoses. However, being misdaignosed is nothing to get angry over... if you do get angry you may have something far more serious than ADHD!
And if someone IS suffering from ADD its nothing to be ashamed of. And very often children and adults with ADD can benefit from individual attention.
