The Brandeis Hoot » Prof. Conrad studies medicalization of ADHD:
“I was the kind of kid who would get up and walk around, look at the goldfish, read the encyclopedias in the back of the room, talk to neighbors,” Peter Conrad, a professor of sociology, said in regard to his childhood. “Had ADHD been an option as a diagnosis in the ’50s, which it wasn’t, I would have been probably labeled and gotten a trial and medications.”

We risk an indigenous lost generation | The Australian:

The proportion of the indigenous child population in state care has tripled from 2 to 6 per cent.
