Ask yourself can children with ADHD receive disability benefits from Social Security?

No! why? Because ADHD isn't even really a real thing... it's more to do with the peace of mind.

For example: They did a case study, telling one group of parents they have given their kids a high load of sugar, the other group zero sugar to the kids, they however actually gave the same amount. The results however told a different story, the parents who considered their kids on sugar thought they where out of control and unruly, but the zero sugar parents thought it was just normal kids being active and playful. It turns out sugar doesn't actually even make your kids hyperactive anyways, it's more to do with caffeine, even food/drink coloring such as Yellow 5, etc.

Your got the mindset of the child as well as the parent and what they both have been told to believe and expect, therefore the results actually change, even though there really isn't a difference.

Same deal with asthma, it can seriously affect the person but in most cases it's more all in the head. A kid will cough and choke, they freak out which makes it even worst and almost suffocate themselves to death. A magical spray bottle in the mouth and they can breath normal again. However, they can even just use a placebo drugs to cure children just like that - it's just favored water! The brain is the part that triggers the cure... It tells the airway to relax again. All in the head.

Some multi-personality disorders are even all just in the head. Other people fuel them and make it easier to cope by using them, etc. The famous, well-known Robbie Williams suffers from multiple personalities, while his loving wife care and helped him cope. However, it just got worst till one personality slash (self-inflicting wounds) came out. His wife couldn't deal with it anymore and just stopped caring, heartless? Well maybe not, as soon as his subconscious realized the personality didn't get him what he wanted they slowly withdrew until he could again live a normal life. It was the treating him differently that kept it going, fueling it. The brain was actually powerful enough to treat it on it's own.

Man-flu is a flu like symptom, males tend to bring on themselves when stressed out to cope and relax, take a break. Children and adults alike can make themselves feel sick / get sick for a benefit. However, it's an actual flu sickness, it's just the brain wanting it badly enough to actually trigger it into happening. Woman don't have this as they are the ones who normally require to stay healthy to treat the males. They are normally way stronger against flus/colds. So you see why it's not really real, but is still real?

As for ADHD, the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual, the DSM, lists 18 behaviors, from which a teacher can check off behaviors she observes in the potential patient or student. Likewise, the parent or caregiver does the same thing. In the current DSM, if one checks six or more of the nine, the individual is deemed to have ADHD.

Present-day psychiatry, led by the National Institute of Mental Health in league with the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry, represents ADHD . . . to be a biologic abnormality of the brain, a so-called neurobiologic disorder. One has diagnosed an organic or a physical abnormality of the brain. This is total bull...

Six million [children in the United States] on medications for ADHD and a total of nine million with neurobiologic psychiatric diagnoses of one sort or another, on one or more psychotropic drugs. At least five million of those children wouldn't even need the drug and could live normal lives without it. There is nothing wrong with them, but it's how they learnt to cope.

But the drugs really helps them? Not really, most of the time it's in the head that the drug will help, therefore the brain manages it better. Both the parents and the child now have a possible escape hatch to be cured by. However, there are no miracle drugs. Just a government will take you money, thank you cure, let the brain do the rest.

Now your asking for money back from their money making scheme? Ain't going it happen!

To deal with ADHD - Sign your child up for a sport, art class, hobbies or music they are interested in. At home, organize simple activities that fill up your child’s time. These can be tasks like helping you cook, playing a board game with a sibling, or drawing a picture. Try not to over-rely on the television or computer/video games as time-fillers. Make sure they eat health, get plenty of exercise and activities to do. Don't treat them as if they have an illness or something wrong with them. Treat them normal and they will slowly turn to normal behavior - specially when they find out it will no longer control.
