I do have family members diagnosed with ADHD / autistic tendencies; they are youngsters - does anyone give thought that this type of behaviour just maybe part of natural development, which will turn into another fixation or passion a year or two on?
I have no doubt the conditions exist, but labelling seems more convenient than allowing natural behaviour to go on with all the disruption it may bring.
I realise the thread relates to trainee / current aircrew, yet I'm struggling to think of a young family I know who doesn't have a child "on the spectrum" or "borderline ADHD."
