You refuse to admit that ADHD. like every other medical condition, can be treated in different ways. You continue to stalk Internet sites with your rabble rousing BS without offering one piece of scientific evidence. Even the moron who runs CHADD admits that the existence of ADHD is "a belief." You must take powder woman, unless you want the whole medicine chest to blow your career to the sky. Where are the scientific facts that Ritalins helps every frickin’ person, Gina.

No one does the ADHD community a favor by jumping uncritically on these fear-mongering stories. It takes compassion and critical thinking to understand what's really going on here. Unfortunately, too many people are looking for the quick thrill -- the information that fits their cognitive dissonance. And truth goes out the window. The comments to Ms. Poole's story on The Daily Beast are very telling -- she blames everyone but herself. Too bad for her children.
