At worst, its PC speak for, 'I have spent barely a moment's effort forming and developing my child's mind, and, now, he's an idiot! Admitting this would mean that I, as a parent, have failed miserably, but NO that couldn't be---Doctor, there *must* be something wrong! What do you think I'm paying you for!?' ENTER: Drug and Healthcare Industry (with suprising similarities to the Military Industrial Complex) that will oblige any perceived illness, as long as there's profit in it.
Do you think ADD exists in un-/under- developed Third World countries? Naw, they probably suffer from *Super Intense Focus Disorder*: Stay Focus, Stay Alive.
