Agreed on the twelve steps for ADHD alone. My main concern is one of association. It gives the impression that people with ADHD have given in to their weakness, and that willpower is all that’s needed to fix the problem. I understand that most alcoholics have a clinical predisposition to addiction, but ADHD isn’t a predisposition; it’s like coming out of the womb with a bottle of gin in your hand, metaphorically speaking.

I can imagine some dim witted politician latching onto the idea as a cheap way to treat ADHD. Not to mention the appeal it would have to the religiously inclined looking for divine intervention for their kids.
