I also think that these two disorders are all too frequently diagnosed by families and doctors. This is a danger because it has the potential of destroying the human capacity to wonder and wander. Children are sometimes simply children and have energy that they need to release, and teachers just need to be more creative in drawing students in. The same goes for adults. Sometimes all children and adults need is an outlet for their energy, and people translate this energy as an easily diagnosable disorder. We prescribe drugs for just about anything, and demonize just about anything that disrupts our comfortable lifestyle.

I have noticed that as they progress in their education they figure out new ways to deal with their hyper active level. Coincidentally these are the three things that they do to treat it-not eating sugary foods or drinks, getting exercise and sticking to a routine. Interesting post!
