Turns out that it may not be as overdiagnosed as we think... -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

As for the answer to who here works with small children, i have for several years now in settings from VBS to public schools. When i said kids shouldn't be allowed in public i should have added what I was thinking with that in that they shouldn't if their parents cant keep track of them.
Anyway, back to ADHD being close to emotional disorder, i really think that the kids know they are having the problem, and try as they might, cant fix it because they keep getting told to just "sit down and be quite" instead of being given tasks that actually require their concentration. There was one kid in a class I was assisting with last year that had that problem (on top of being diagnosed as having emotional problems with it) and my heart broke for that kid. You could tell his parents had probly just beat his ass a whole lot because he was almost afraid of adults....in a bad way. What the teacher had to do to control him was make a mark on the carpet with some tape in an isolated area of the room, and when he started getting out of it (you could tell just by looking at the kid...his eyes went all weird), she would tell him to take his work over to his secret place (this is kindergarten mind you) and she would be over in a minute to help him....She was the only teacher that got a response out of that kid in the whole school it seemed, and all it took was a teacher that gave a damn....not someone with a belt. also, another fun story My roomate 2 years ago was severely ADHD, but he found a field he liked and when it got to where he couldnt focus he would start working on a project for that particular class or whatever he had that involved that field,...after about 3 hours or so pounding away at that he would come back to the task at had and be ok for a good while. Which means he found a way to use that sort of focus, or lack thereof, to get more done....It was really weird. -------------------- Brandon....you're the reason I'm pro-choice.
