    “attention deficit disorder” sounds like something made up by teachers who are bad at teaching.

      Nah it’s a real thing and if you don’t have experience or education regarding it your opinion that it “sounds like” something else is worth less than the dirt you walk on

        noshit its real. My post was mocking how OP was dismissing ODD using the same logic. Just ADHD isn’t the fault of bad teachers, ODD isn’t the fault of bad parents.

        And it’s shitty to blame parents already having to contend with a special needs child as though it’s their fault for not parenting better.

      As a person diagnosed with ADHD, I sometimes do feel like the name was made up by teachers who are bad at teaching, no sarcasm…
