"I was thinking back, and I can only remember one kid that I thought might have had ADD when I was in grade school."

Part of the problem is that the school system expects boys to act like girls. The whole ADD thing is pretty much a US phenomena, other countries don't diagnose ADD nearly to the extreme that we do here.

ADD, like most disorders, exist on a continua. Everybody has some elements of it, the only question is at what point does it cause a problem? Public schools in particular tend to draw the line at a pretty low threshold. Boys tend to act up, be loud, be wiggly and are easily distracted. It is just part of being a boy.
