Normally I'd skip over the resuscitation of a retired, dusty thread but yeah, me too. It's never a bad idea to beat ignorance back with a verbal whack or two.

ADHD is a real thing and if addressed properly can lead to wonderful results. If ignored or treated like it's just about a bratty, insolent child it can lead to disastrous results. How do I know? My son was diagnosed with ADHD 15 years ago and my wife made sure he received the proper support early on. His impressive string of successes as a college student were only possible because his behavioral issues weren't swept under a rug and ignored.

And had we beat him into behaving better he not only wouldn't have reigned in his ADHD, it would have also made him fearful of his parents.

You also can try piedmont behavioral services in cary.

I find it fascinating that people still believe ADHD is behavioral even though it can be diagnosed through a brain scan now.

OP, just an aside, but my son has had very good results form taking a TBSP of fish oil every day. He takes it without me telling him because it really does help him concentrate. I know it may not work for everyone but it can't hurt (unless you're allergic to fish) and there are many other health benefits as well.
