I actually have ADHD-PI (primarily inattentive), and have struggled my whole life with it. It did not manifest as being hyperactive, just being extraordinarily bad at focusing on anything i don't find highly stimulating and being really damned forgetful. Adderall was a godsend for me as a child and I would have never gotten through school without it. I had to discontinue use of it in High school because it started to have very bad side effects for me as I got older. I am no way trying to imply that ADHD is not real. I know it is real. But I am skeptical that every single kid diagnosed with it really would still have hyperactivity problems if they were running around and riding bikes for hours every day. If the kid still can't focus in school even with improvements to diet and more exercise, then yeah the kid probably really has ADHD and may need stimulants. Even though I struggle with it, I don't think it's really a 'disorder' except insofar as it can interfere with one's ability to function in modern society. It seems to me to be just a different way of thinking, one that is unfortunately much more suited to activities like hunting than it is to remembering to pay my parking tickets on time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_vs._farmer_hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_vs._farmer_hypothesis
