It's frightening to think that if I had been born 30 years later I very likely would have been thrown into the ADHD box and been medicated for nothing more than natural curiosity and energy. The only thing I can hope is that the pendulum on the feminist movement has swung far enough and is getting ready to swing back the other way, into a more normal and natural state for everyone.
It is scary, because curiousity and scatter mind is often just a sign of high IQ, but our school system punish this kind of natural behaviour.
I've long been an advocate of less medication and more understanding. Unfortunately the governmental/military complex just wants the easy way out. Plus it helps the pharma contingent. Come to think of it, a large population of loser males helps the military complex as well. Damn.
