ADD/ADHD is not a character issue or boredom. It is neurological and deals with the inability to control impulses.
There is absolutely no hard neurological science which validates this statement- no testing exists which can objectively and with finality be used to diagnose ADD/ADHD in the still developing brains of toddlers.

ADHD subjects fail to suppress eye blinks and microsaccades while anticipating visual stimuli but recover with medication

The above study was conducted in adults. However, I tend to agree that ADD/ADHD is a quick and easy label for squirmy toddlers. If you watch a toddler play they often bounce from one shiny thing to the next. For older children and adults with ADD/ADHD they do not grow out of this, and their brain is constantly jumping from one impulse to the next.

Preach it brother. The adhd fad/scam sickens me. Raise your kids. Boys are meant to be active, kids aren't supposed to be in cubicle training. Let them play!
