Autism and ADHD are, by far, the most thoroughly studied mental disorders. They are also the most thoroughly undiagnosed, untreated, and ignored. Sprinkle the hyper-politicization of stimulant medication on top, and you get what we have today: hell. Imagine if the wheelchair store was at the top of a staircase. Imagine if the glasses flashed bright lights into your eyes every time you tried a frame on. Imagine you broke your leg, and your physician told you with a straight face, "I think it might be a sprain. I'm going to prescribe you a mild painkiller, and see if that helps." There's a shortage of crutches, and we don't want to risk getting you dependent on those anyway. Think I'm being heavy-handed here? Just read any collection of first-hand ADHD diagnosis. If anything, it's worse.
