Reddit is very mad at this new doc!

ADHD is real and has always been around. The diff is that the world before was more compatible with people who had it so it wasn't noticed much.

>What does /tv/ think?
I think you're not vodanon and you shouldn't post in his format

channel4 is pure communism, so somehow i doubt reddit is angry at this show. i think you are lying.

ADHD? Try the ADHD drug.

Being a retard is being a retard. They made up a new term for it so it didn't sound as bad. But then of course they started lumping everyone in so they could sell more drugs or more specialized services. Why waste a good opportunity to make money
>>
>>223998542
This is just a poor attempt to make ADHD people feel better about themselves. ADHD is real, people with ADHD have extreme low impulse control and need for brain stimulation, thats why when they get angry they start punching or when they are bored they start doing drugs
>>
The real problem is the modern lack of focus on non psychiatric treatments to mental disorders. Pharmaceutical companies want their drugs to be pushed nonstop so we see DSM criterias becoming looser and looser allowing more and more people to be diagnosed and sold drugs.
>>
>>223998542
based, it's so obviously a ruse that gullible retards lap up, as it gives them the much coveted status of victim.

he doesn't post in that format, stupid

>when they get angry they start punching or when they are bored they start doing drugs
so basically a low IQ person?

It simply comes down to lazy parents not wanting to take care/discipline their kids
>he moves a lot in class!
Yeah no shit hes a kid

>>223998542
another dime a dozen quack with delusions of grandeur that can't accept scientific consensus
>>
>>223998874
There's nothing scientific about psychology.

>oh no boring things i don't want to do are hard to focus on I'M SICK!

>>223998861
That's a low IQ conclusion.

Yes. Just like everyone who is non-conformist or introvert/ bad socially in general or have more sensitivity to sounds/lights are all diagnosed with autism together with the rest of real retarded people

At some point corporal punishment stops being an effective deterrence, but it's indisputable that the decline in the west went hand in hand with lack of resolve to enforce discipline on the youth.

liberals love animals but even animals hit their kids when they have to
that's how disconnected they are from nature even though they claim to love nature.

It's a myth, which suddenly became popular once strong, addictive stimulants like amphetamine or methylphenidate started being prescribed for this "disorder". Before, it was easily cured by teachers having more autonomy and staying after school to repeat the work until they got it. The discipline caused themselves to develop discipline and their ability to concentrate was greatly improved to the point of being indistinguishable from other students.
I don't know a single kid who was diagnosed with ADHD, but I was born in 1990, schools back then still were able/allowed to fix such behaviors and it worked. Nobody needed any kind of pills, let alone addictive, brain modifying, drugs.

Humans are character classes. This means people have stronger or weaker traits on a sort of spectrum scale. ADHD and autism have obvious strengths and weaknesses.

In the pre-modern world, the human had to do it all. Generalism was hugely important, breadth-wise learning. A tribal man had to hunt, fish, forage, scout, build, fight, etc. He was constantly working on new skills as need demanded. This is "adhd", basically. When you are getting bored of one repetitive task, or non engaging abstract task (which is all of schooling and corporate work now), it's your brain saying you need to find something more useful to work on. It's for survival, not arbitrary.

In the modern world everything is done at hyperscale and we don't need generalists like this, we need hyperspecialists. You get a very specific job, oftentimes abstract rather than tangible, and you just do that, every single day. It's entirely at odds with how a large segment of humans are built to work.

The people aren't broken, we just have a mode of society that is overfit for a certain kind of person. The myopic specialist.

The government's current agenda seems to be to "prove people aren't really disabled", because they desperately need to cut spending, and it's easier to pick on spackers, than it is to have the immigrants at your neck.

Fucked that one up, didn't you, you massive wally?

This is true now for autism to a lesser extent. "Autism" in its mild/moderate forms is more of an obsession with things, objects, and how they work. It's the inventor/tinkerer archetype. Prior to mass production of everything, and mass proliferation of information, people had to figure a lot of things out on the fly and from first principles. Your autists were good for this.

Turns out amphetamine addicta react negatively to being exposed

>>223998542
I think people dont like the truth, they like the chase. If tomorrow we found proof that vaccines are bad for you and scientific consensus came around to that, the conspiracy theorist would start talking about how "the government and big pharma keep vaccines away from you". Its not about facts, its about liking the feeling that you have some secret truth others aren't aware of.
>>
>>223999430
Autism has no strengths, it's a pure brain problem. Actual autistics become obsessed with useless shit, but they lack what makes an actual tinker/inventor - the drive and understanding whenever their work is useful or merely a fancy that never leads anywhere. It's funny how self-diagnosed "autistics" here try to make actual autism sound like merely a character type and not a disorder with various degrees of retardation, to even a point of being a open mouthed, bumbling retard.
