Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional ADHD evolution

I'm with you. And with the evolution of something like ADD now having 11 subcategories, it's looking more like a *spectrum*.

I expect to see much more of this as currently brain research seems to be exploding. ADD is excutive funciton and there are so many fine areas in which *differences* can cause various symptoms.

I sometimes wonder if the term "mental illness" is fast becoming as offensive and archaic as the term "retarded". Okay, a little OT but hope you see where I'm going here.
