Psychiatric condition diagnosed in children who won’t sit still and pay attention to what they’re being told, which is the basis of modern industrial civilization. Those who don’t want to do it must be pharmacologically coerced. Considered rare a few decades ago, the ‘disorder’ is now diagnosed in one in thirty American children.
