Headline – “ADHD on the rise: 1 in 5 high school-age boys diagnosed with hyperactivity”, folks that’s 20%. You can Read the whole article here: ADHD on the rise: 1 in 5 high school-age boys diagnosed with hyperactivity | Fox News
Here is what I think is going on with this bogus story. Since the Gun Grabbers are attempting to stop us all from having firearms, but continue to run in to resistance at every turn, it is unlikely they will get much done. Now think about this. All indications point to mental illness being a large contributor to many of the mass shootings in our Nation. Many people including the NRA and others are saying any new gun laws need to address the mental illness issue. Well guess what, I think the government is coming up with the bogus “1 in 5 boys has ADD” as an avenue to work to get the supposed disorder classified as a mental illness thus effectively eliminating anyone who has been diagnosed with the disorder from every being able to legally own a firearm, which based on the governments statistics would stop at least 20% of the male population in this country from ever being able to own a firearm!
Some Doctors already are hollering foul but it might not be enough. We all had better watch this one real close before it gains much ground.

I'm not so sure that the government made up the results... but they sure will use them to their advantage. In the school systems, it is very easy for a child to get diagnosed by some doctor as having ADHD. All a parent has to say is "he's very fidgety and doesn't concentrate all the time". Sound like any of you when you were a kid? Now, why would a parent do this to their child? It's because once a child has been diagnosed the school MUST provide that child extra support. The school will write up an IEP (Individual Education Plan), they will provide him with a special education teacher to follow and track his progress, etc.
In my high school 49% of all the children have some sort of IEP and the vast majority are for ADHD.
It's a crock, but it's being done.
Now, the libtards in Washington start seeing this "increase" in ADHD, you don't think they are going to use that to their advantage? Of course they are. The crying shame of this... the schools are government institutions and the government can have records of all those that have IEP for "behavioral disorders". They already know who is and who is not diagnosed coming out of school.
