Reading all these accounts, I am struck by the temporal range they cover — from presently on-going to 17 years ago. Undoubtedly, almost everyone in these forums has had similar experiences.

Is anyone else as bewildered by this as I am? It isn’t as if ADHD was ‘discovered’ only a few months ago! Far from it : there exists a significant body of peer-reviewed research on this disorder. Yet, still, after all this time, little has changed. So many professionals seem determined to remain willfully ignorant re ADHD, & a few apparently prefer to actively work at undermining people rather than recognize that ADHD exists!

I cannot understand the underlying motivation here. Any insights?
