Inventor of ADHD: “ADHD is a fictitious disease”

[reeay]

Thanks Ashim. There is significant changes in our children's brain wiring due to modern technology and such. This is part of evolution and unfortunately our society has not adapted itself to create desirable environments for such children to thrive in.

Children who are diagnosed with ADHD have highly sensitive brains; they may become overwhelmed when there is too much stimuli. ADHD children tend to 'act out' or 'misbehave' because they are so overwhelmed by external stimuli that they need to somehow manage their environment so that things do not spin out of control. I do believe that brain waves could explain this, perhaps, altho I have no information yet about it. Children with highly sensitive brains will thrive in certain environments: living in an environment with order/consistency, structure, and serenity. School teachers may benefit from incorporating these practices to help the child to manage his/her environment.

Managing the child's environment in such a way that promotes order, structure, and serenity may make the child's life richer:
* Making sure that the house is orderly... even clutter can overstimulate kids
* Having a ritual where the child may de-pressurize after school or after play time thru quiet activities that do not involve highly stimulating things e.g., TV, video games, or rambunctious play time, interaction with many people, anything excitable
* Having a structured household where rules are explicit and there is some consistent schedule or activities
* For example, a consistent activity may be to give kids time to depressurize/decompress after school or play time by engaging in very calming activities such as having a bonding session w/ family members, petting animals, drawing, reading together etc. During this time, no friends are allowed, everybody in the house engages in quiet activities etc etc.

Hope it helps.
