Interesting, someone once told me that Sir Winston Churchill had a text book case of ADHD. But, I never actually looked into it. I'm so ambivalent about labeling kids, on one hand they get the extra help they need to succeed but on the other I think they are viewed as having less potential which isn't the case IMHO. The pros out weigh the cons but still, the perceptions need to change.
