I understand though, if you don't live with someone, work with someone, who has DCD or ADHD or have either yourself, your not going to make it a reading or research priority.
What I have found through personal experience as a parent with a child who has DCD/ADHD is there is a big difference between general ignorance and selective ignorance, especial among friends and extended family. But that's a story for another day.
There are many myths about ADHD, for example ADHD "is merely an excuse for errant behavior." Or, that a child who has ADHD is the result of poor parenting. Trust me, I've heard a lot comments like these. I came across a couple of articles that bust the myths and misinformation about ADHD that I believe you too will find valuable.
