It seems that the label ADHD sounds more 'serious' than hyperactivity. I hear so many bleeding heart stories from parents attempting to excuse the actions of their children, as some lunatic seven year old spits in the face of my newborn baby who is asleep in her pram in the park, and then calls her some nasty expletive. The parent gets all up herself when I say ' umm would you mind removing your child away from my baby' the response is almost automatic ' my son has ADHD he cant help it' ummm, well I cant help it either, so move your child away from my baby before I throttle it! It seems that people with well behaved kids, or mothers with the ability to do the responsible thing and stop their kids terrorising innocents, are the ones being victimised simply because their kids dont have ADHD. So I ask these defensive up themselves parents, Are your children born with a full vocabluary of expletives? Something tells they arent, so try some other excuse for your laziness, other than hiding behind an americanised over diagnosed label which basically translates to ' your child is a little shit, and your parenting skills are tantamount to child abuse'
