ADHD isn't real

The diagnosis of ADHD was first introduced in 1902 by George Frederick Still, a pediatrician who recognized a pattern of hyperactivity and inattention in a small number of children.

As the science became more sophisticated, the diagnostic criteria for ADHD evolved into its current form. To be fair, the condition didn't make it into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders until 2013. But what’s even fairer is that study after study has confirmed its legitimacy as a mental illness before now.

Children with ADHD will always struggle

On the one hand, some people believe that children with ADHD are hopeless patients who will struggle with ADHD their entire lives. Not only is this assumption false, it can be very destructive for children who internalize a sense of brokenness and set themselves up for a hard life.

In fact, ADHD often brings some pretty amazing gifts that can lead to great success in sports. Moreover, children with ADHD do not necessarily have a bad life when they grow up.
