Does my child have ADD/ADHD?
First we have to establish if there is such a thing. This is
something you must decide for yourself. Is there something wrong
with a child who is "different"? Why can't this child be like other
children? Will this child learn? In the pages that follow, we hope to
help you answer these questions for yourself. You will find letters
from parents who've put their children on drugs, and those who have
found alternatives that work. I hope that you can find your own answers.
Why are we doing this? Because, we have experienced those whose lives
and future were destroyed by a well meaning parent who chose to drug
their children in the name of help. Even after drugging is stopped, the
damage lasts a lifetime.
