"I don't think ADHD/ADD is a farce, though it is perhaps horribly
overdiagnosed. If this discussion continues, I think we'll all have to
agree that the lack of a comprehensive definition of ADHD/ADD (and all its
components and varieties) will pose a large problem."

I always wondered how much TV is responsible for this. I don't watch any other TV than the evening news and the rare sporting event and haven't done since I was in high school over fifteen years ago and I'm constantly trying to develop my attention span. Anybody know anyone who has ADHD/ADD who doesn't watch television or was denied television as they were growing up?
