I'm half reacting to a reading of your post that many readers will have, even if it's not one you intended.
On the whole I appreciate you introducing the real prevalence of ADHD, etc.
However the lack of engagement with the reality of treating ADHD and the implied "concerns" is a very easy prelude to a rant about middle class mothers, and the medical establishment.
If I'm a little harsh to you, its only as a stand in for what your post would otherwise be used for: the occasional reader unthinkingly associating it with an attack on effective treatment.
Especially this bit:
> > it's not provided as a package of bio-psycho-social treatment.
> ADHD researchers (serious neuroscientists & clinical psychiatrists) have for DECADES tried "biosocial blah blah".
Medication is the Bio bit. "Your children are not wilfully disobedient, please stop hitting them" is the psycho-social bit.
