Whether you think they qualify as special needs or not really doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is that you can't just waltz into a doctor's office and get a diagnosis whenever you want. There is a process to the diagnosis.
You have no idea whether you'd be diagnosed with it or not. ADHD is SO MUCH MORE than being a hyper child. I REALLY wish this idiotic, erroneous assumption would go away already.
My son was taken to a psychiatrist on the recommendation he was "ADHD." When I found out the mother had been taking him to sessions, I showed up to the psychiatrist and told her in no certain terms she would not give me son any medication.
Of course looking back on things, this psychiatrist testified against me (in the custody hearing) I was unstable and this might be one of the reasons there is a restraining order against me and my kids. But, my son never went on medication that I know of. A truly loving parent doesn't turn over their kid's bodies to the drug companies. We whoop their ass with love.
If you do a good job at parenting, your kids will not be put in a situation where they have to be beat down. In any case, if you lay your hands on someone elses kids, your parents failed you and you deserve an ass kicking. Anyone lays their hands on my kid, I'm teaching them a lesson

My son is on the autism spectrum and diagnosed with ADHD. Never had a lick of medicine in his life, never will.
I don't whoop his ass either.
He has a very high IQ and does wonderfully in his mainstream class with a paraeducator's aid.

I'm glad you're warning the world. But if your kid damages my property you can expect that I will put my hands on him.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. Coddling liberals are destroying this nation.
Im usually not critcal of other posters personally...but your comment confunds me deeply...No way on Heaven or Earth could you so mis-understand that passage.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son...
whether you agree with the passage or not...be clear on what it says, but even more important, Its meaning.

Again - no.clue.what.you.are.talking.about.
ADHD is not a real thing. My boy is a true boy. Energetic, rather sports than school. His grades were low, he got in trouble (he even bit a girl classmate LOL and was removed from school) but overall nothing that a firm hand would teach him. Unfortunately his mother is an American woman who thinks beating your kids is "wrong." Yet she complains about his behavior. Americans are funny people.

Any self respecting father would smack you down on you if you laid a hand on their kids. Wanna beat your kids, go ahead, but you have no right to beat someone elses kids.
That would involve a well administered spanking by a parent when neccesary.
Spanking is not necessary to raising good children. I don't spank my children. ODS has NEVER had a disciplinary issue at school and is consistently called a leader in his classroom. YDS, even with his special needs issues, does not get spanked and does very well in school. He is well liked by his peers and his teacher and an asset to his classroom.
Love, empathy, time, caring, devotion - these are the things that are necessary for bringing up well adjusted, productive, happy children. Smacking them around? Not so much.
