ADHD was totally misunderstood for so very, very long. Tragically, terribly misunderstood. This led to the sadistic and systematic betrayal of innocent children, punishing them for what they could not control, and the wholesale wasting of the talent of generations of adults. For far too long, it was considered okay to call those of us with ADHD imbeciles, morons, and idiots. Based on IQ, those were actual diagnostic terms in medical textbooks well into the 1960s. Who wouldn’t want to skip to the end of that?
