Thank you for your reply. I'm hoping the same thing, being misdiagnosed. As for a money making operation, ohh boy is it ever. Any child with marginal grades and poor conduct in school can be branded very easily with ADD or ADHD. Lifelong perscriptions to maintence drugs. Almost as good as what the tabacco companies did in years past, albiet now legal and incouraged. The question we have now is how do we expunge it. Can it be "cured" or considered such, if misdiagnosed is not excepted. I take no drugs and have not taken any for a few years now, I have no symptoms and my life goes on. I excell at my current job full time job, have great grades while going to school full time also.
