Sometimes I think ADD/ADHD is overdiagnosed on a massive scale...I can get a bit touchy about it sometimes...the author was explaining ways to cope without medication.

I worry for the young geniuses who are currently being dumbed down to the national standard with medication in order to stop them reading ahead in class...I am fortunate to be old enough to have missed it.

Edit: I am not trying to knock anyone that medication has worked for, or saying you are stupid for taking it...just pointing out (my opinion of) what happens when you give it to someone who does not need it.
