"Just be good parents and give your child an environment where his or her differences can thrive. Find some open space and let them loose for several hours a day. Homeschool them with creative and intriguing lessons tailored just to them. Do whatever you can to allow their abilities become advantages rather than brand it a disorder and ruin their self-esteem by sending them to the nurse twice a day to be force-fed a pill they don’t need."

Let me guess: you aren't a parent, are you? I grew up on Ritalin and my son is wayyyyyy more ADHD than I am. He was prescribed adult doses of ADHD meds at five. We homeschooled after he was sent to the principal's office in kindergarten something like 10 times in a three week span (and that was while he was medicated).

I know both sides of this story and, to be frank, I'll avoid taking advice on parenting from someone who has no experience in that situation. I'm not trying to be rude but it's just like a deep developer who has only worked on solo iPhone app projects giving a talk to 1000s of people on how to effectively manage a team of 100 developers on 3-year long projects.
