re: I have said before I think there may be something wrong with today's kids. ADD, ADHD and Austism are way up. In fact, they reported on NBC tonite that a new study is out that says Austism strikes 1 in 150 kids rather than 1 in 166 as previously believed. And its 4 times likely to strike boys rather than girls. Several doctors believe there are more Autistic kids now than were back 10-15 years. However, no one can figure out why the increase.

I still think it is something environmental. Having the observational benefit of age, I think kids are much more F'ed up these days than when I was a kid.

Of course they are much more pampered, protected and fawned over as well. The extent of my parents planning my activity was to say "go outside and play".
