ADHD is not a myth – and it cannot be prayed away (Opinion)
Contrary to what you may have seen broadcast on Channel 4 recently, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is not a myth. Nor, in my opinion, is it a ‘disorder’. It’s a well described, well researched, well evidenced neurodevelopmental difference. Which means that people who have ADHD develop differently. It is also not a problem until it’s a problem.
