And you CAN DIAGNOSE A CHILD.

You do realize psycopaths are born that way and exhibit symptoms in early age. Like torutring and killing animals.

Children can be diagnosed.

Hard to say -- some people need help to varying extents, but I think we often try too hard to make everyone uniform and cram them into predetermined molds. History is filled by people who MADE THAT HISTORY because they were different. As long as you don't hurt someone else, be yourself and bless you and be happy and filled with joy.

mental illness is a real thing. no one likes labels but its real. people who are bipolar or schizophrenia. multiple personality disorder.. there are many different disorders and when one gets diagnosed the person can then go and get help or even drugs to keep things under control. i have to admit people are cold and mean to people who are different from them or judged. i was judged for my entire life for being quiet and closed off. people just seem to poke fun of whats different. just be you and screw people.

I have seen so much of this. I believe they give kids drugs to shot them up. I kept a nephew for several years and he was a quiet kid, advanced in his studies a lovable little boy. I had to take him for a physical for private school, took him to his regular Peds and first thing they did was write that prescription for Adderall. We never got it filled because he didnt ever need anything like that. He had been bullied in public school and he was a fighter for his own defense. He never had problems in private school.

Sorry for the long post but I think they need to look at the kids life before they start handing out drugs.

It could be something in your environment or food that is messing with you. There was a doctor who has said that ADHD is really non-existent and it's sugar and junk food (and even diet soft drinks) that is affecting children's brains and behaviors, and I might add mercury in the vaccines (or other sources) that can affect young brains. The medical industry is making too much money off these newer health "conditions" for them to admit that they can be reversed with proper diets and lifestyles.

Diagnoses can be wrong, and psychology is still a very soft science.

I feel for you, but anger about it doesn't usually help much.

This sounds like something someone with a mental illness would say. Just playing.

WHERE are YOU now? You talk about being diagnosed as a child, but you're evidently now old enough to control your own fate. So... What do YOU feel like you need? Something Must feel wrong, or you wouldn't have written, right? Something s hurting. What?

Hang in there.

You are also not a doctor and if they did not say it was adhd then it is not adhd. Accepting your diagnosis can only serve to help you

Aspergers is similar to adhd also and does not make you "crazy" but hey. Since you womt listn to people who are educated in their field then you surely are not going to listen to anyone.
