I don’t believe that’s what the OP is saying. I understood his comment to mean that ADHD can be considered more of a “bad fit” for the person’s environment than an objectively diagnosable disease. Perhaps by changing the environment, ADHD’s symptoms may be mitigated. Maybe it’s not a 6-year-old’s fault that he/she cannot sit still and quiet in a room for 8 hours with maybe a 30 minute break for recess? Maybe it’s our expectations that are at fault.

- Spooky23 8y agoYou can really see developmental differences at 5-7. My son is 6, his kindergarten last year had kids between 4-6 on the first day of school and they vary substantially. Their lives vary a lot as well... how do you expect a 6 year old in early day, school and aftercare from 7-5 to behave?
