My 11 year old cousin is diagnised with ADHD since he was 9. His single mom (my aunt) allowed it. He was always a hype kid who can play outside ALL day. He started lagging behind in school, then a short while later everyone started saying he has a learning disability and they sent him to a psychologist
. Nobody stopped and thought that maybe its that way because nobody is encouraging him to do homework after school or assist in his studies. His own mom would beat his ass for not being able to write his name even though she never once sat down and taught him to embrace education and learning. All that kid knew was to play outside, but everyone was quick to blame his lack of skill in school on him doing nothing and being hype all day after school
shyt still gets me heated thinking about it. He dull as hell these days
