PS I did shut the candy off but was quickly reopened by the school administration, why they made MONEY off the candy to sponser something unnecessary.

I would say no. My son has ADHD. He is of the strain which is inattentive rather than the stereotypical ADHD sufferer who bounces like Tigger!

It is however used as an excuse for kids to steal cars, so I understand where this question comes from.

No, I have a friend called Shiobvan who has it and the difference between naughty people and people with Adhd is that they can't help it. A) People with adhd have some characterisics of asperges syndrome as in they don't know what acceptabe behaviour is and wat isn't. So you ca't really blame them when they are naugty.They don't pick it up nautrallay like we do/

No, and I personally think that they should do some more studying on it and the effects it has on teenagers and young adults, especially in the event of criminal activities. I often wonder how many kids that are in juvenile and young adult facilities that actually have ADD or ADHD when they were young, and never diagnosed, and how it may have contributed to their being locked up.
