- The terror level is
I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve heard something like: “We had our son tested and tested, couldn’t figure out why he acts the way he does…finally such-and-such doctor diagnosed him. Turns out he has ADHD…”
NO NO NO! The behavior that he’s been exhibiting is now CALLED ADHD. This is not an episode of House. The doctor didn’t SOLVE anything for you; he just gave the behavior you already knew about a name.
Don’t get me started.
