    There’s a real noticeable increase in different types of behavioral problems. Regardless if it’s adhd, add, or other letter combination. Or just plain old bad parenting (and there’s plenty of that)

    I met up with a few of my old teachers and classmates last year. They all said the same. That they’ve seen and noticed this increase over the last 20 years.

      I don’t think anecdotal observation weighs particularly heavy in this instance, especially given the fallibility of the human memory.

        Yes, let’s not listen to the people who’s been making a Living teaching children for almost 3 decades.

        They probably don’t know what they’re talking about.

        The idea that everything is caused by more awareness is also just speculation based on anecdotal evidence. Not a bad speculation, but we shouldn’t take it for a fact without a better study on that topic. Having anecdotal evidence against a hypothesis strenghtens the case for a proper study.
