My take-away from the study wasn't that ADHD is caused by bad parenting, but that when parents are faced with challenging children and they behave poorly, they make things worse. Is that controversial? Should you as a parent just mistreat your children because they are exhausting you? Some may thing that perhaps acting tough on those kids will somehow solve the problem, but hey you'll just make things worse. Is that framing blaming the parents? I don't think so; I think the parallel with the refrigerator mother is just an emotional reaction on something that is only superficially similar
