    This is what I know. When it comes to people whose brains work a bit differently, like people with ADD or dyslexia, they are up against a lot of ignorant people saying stupid things. These ignorant people come out with thing like
    “There just dumb and lazy and are diagnosis with those things to make their parents feel better.”
    “Those problems are cause by bad parenting.”
    ” Why should I care about those problems, we all have problems.”
    My favourite one was, “We did not have all of these problems in Leave It to Beaver’s time.”
    To help these poor ingorant people with there big opinions and even bigger mouths we need doctors to talk about these conditions. It is important also for people with ADD and dyslexia to talk and educate other about what they are going through.
    One final thought, Jerry Mathers who played the “Beaver” was and still is dyslexic. He did not memerize the script by reading them. His mother read them to him.
    All students are our future.

    Maybe there’s hope for Scandinavia too then in about … let’s say … another 50 years or so?, and then they too will Know For Sure that ADHD is a real neuro-biological fact. :-D
