So I'm going to be very, very measured in what I say here.
Um, there is genuine ADHD.
And that ADHD, we can track, we can treat it with medication, we know what's going on.
50% of kids do not have that.
Yet that's about the diagnostics in most districts around the U.S.
50% of kids have a special plan that gives them extra bonus time to help them because they have a learning disorder, typically an attentional disorder.
50%?
So not all of them will have the diagnostic of ADHD.
Some will get an ASD diagnostic.
Some will get a tactile.
But 50% have some special treatment.
Most of it is going to be attentional.
And the trick with ADHD is this.
Oh, gosh.
You can have what's called induced ADHD, where basically you act as though you have it, but you genuinely do not.
And we can tell by based on how medication is going to interact with you.
If you have biological ADHD, nine times out of 10, about, well, eight and a half times out of 10, the medication will treat the symptomology.
We know we're dealing with something real.
In the real world, if I give the majority of people who are demonstrating ADHD medication, they will just ramp up.
It doesn't help them.
