One in nine American children has an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder diagnosis.

Nearly a quarter of 17-year-old American boys have been diagnosed with ADHD.

Researchers have found no definitive brain scan differences or clear genetic markers for the list of symptoms labeled ADHD.

Despite some improved focus, ADHD-medicated kids’ learning doesn’t improve.

Being a boy isn't a disorder, says Peggy Drexler .

She says boys respond far better to competition, challenge, physical activity, clear and well-enforced discipline, pointed and fact-based debate, debate, and other forms of positively directed overt aggression.

Men must require that women recognize their needs just as women require that men recognize our needs, she says.
