Re: ADD and Ritalin - Matt's POV

I certainly don't feel flamed, but I'm not sure what point you are
contesting.

I asked if Matt found people labelling other behaviours as ADD when
they weren't. So, are you saying that never happens? Or that ADD is
not a learning disability?

I'm sure you know more about it than I, but I have worked with children
(and parents) who used the "label" ADD as an EXCUSE. Similarly, when
my wife was working with special needs kids at her first school, the "in"
thing was to lable ALL disruptive children as "autistic", which many of
them were not.

I AM not saying anything about your son.... and I didn't mean to.
