Discipline used to handle the problem

Goes along with "screen time" IMHO. I would bet there is an even higher ratio among our 550ish members here.

I have ADHD but was never diagnosed when I was younger/a kid. I've learned to live with it but have never taken any meds for it. It has it pros and cons but I've learned\taught myself to limit the cons. I have to put certain things(phone, keys, wallet, etc.) in the same spot everyday. I have to remind myself to stay on task and finish what I'm currently doing. If someone ask me to do or get something while I'm in the process of doing something I ignore them or tell them to remind me when I'm done. It's been very useful for all the years I spent in management believe it or not. It allows me to multi task at a high level as long as I can stay focused on the final result. I try not to start to many projects at the same time because they can take way to long to finish each one.
For the idiots that suggested beating or discipline. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you beat and or discipline your blind and or non-verbal child? How about an autistic child?

The real question is,,,,, What is causing this? I think most people including the “experts” know what it is, but to afraid to speak.

I think it has always been there. But most doctors would not make the diagnosis or parents wouldn't seek one. Just thought the kid was acting up. As some of the responses here demonstrated a lack of knowledge regarding ADHD as some said discipline was all that was needed.
I think the public is more aware now and diagnosis is more common due to awareness, not an increase in ADHD itself.

Parents were also forced to interact with their children during lock downs. More likely to notice certain behaviors.

He always had problems in school focusing, but back in the 60s ADHD was not that well known. He doesn't take meds either. But learned to live with it.

There's a lot of ignorance on this thread.
Out of ten grandkids, 2 are on the spectrum. Both are extremely bright but you deal with them differently.

There's a lot of ignorance on this thread. Out of ten grandkids, 2 are on the spectrum. Both are extremely bright but you deal with them differently. You are correct. A lot of ignorance in this thread. My step-son has a couple of things. Asperger's being the most prevalent. He's one of the smartest kids if not the smartest kid in his grade. He's finishing up 3rd grade this year and has done exceptionally well being in honors/gifted classes the 2nd half of the school year. He's always made honor roll but his "discipline/behavior" in class was lacking at times. Main problem was he wasn't being challenged enough. He'd complete all of his work and test before the entire class and got bored. Looks like he's going to make Principals Honor Roll to close out the year YEAH!!!!!! We aren't sure what he wants to do when he gets older but whatever he decides he's going to be a genius at it. We also put him in Taekwondo a little over a year ago and he just received his blue belt last week. This has helped him as well.

That is awesome that you were able to work thru , even more awesome that you can help your son thru without relying on drugs to take care of it and sitting him in the corner with a tablet or phone. Too much of that is happening these days. Kid is lucky to have you.
