Myth: 							 Compensating for ADD (e.g. giving extra time on 								tests in school) is unfair to other people.


Reality:  Legally, a student with ADD is covered by both 								US Public Law 94-1942 (Part B of the Individuals with 								Disabilities Education Act) and Section 504 of the Federal 								Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Under these laws, [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 Medication for ADD can lead to drug abuse and 								addiction. Besides, taking medication is a crutch. People 								should be able to maintain control through their own 								willpower.


Reality:  Contrary to what many people would assume, 								statistics show that youngsters with ADD who are properly 								medicated as soon as their ADD is identified rarely [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 Non-medical approaches, such as biofeedback, are 								effective in treating ADD.


Reality:  Most specialists, even non-medical 								professionals, now acknowledge that stimulant medication 								is the “gold standard” for the treatment of ADD.  Certainly, 							other interventions, such as counseling, coaching, and behavior 							modification, are useful in tandem with medication. But science 							has not shown that [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 Poor diet and/or environmental conditions [allergies, 								pollution, sugar, food additives] are responsible for ADD.


Reality: Again, ADD is an inherited, neurobiological 								condition.  There is little scientific evidence that any dietary 								or environmental causes exist for ADD , 							although these ideas 							continue to be explored. A perfect example of the public&#8217;s 							misinformation on this [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 People with ADD tend to be unintelligent and 								probably never will be successful in school or careers.


Reality:  Most ADDers are not lacking in intelligence, and 								many are well above average, even gifted. In addition, they 							often are highly creative and intuitive. They still have academic 							difficulties because of the way their nervous [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 ADD occurs much more in boys than in girls.


Reality:  In the past, boys have been diagnosed as 								hyperactive at about six to ten times the rate for girls.  The reality is that the ratio is closer to fifty-fifty. Society expects that 							“boys will be boys” and bounce off walls, while conditioning [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 People with ADD are always “hyper.”


Reality: 							 Before continuing, let&#8217;s clear up the confusion 								between the terms “ADD” and “ADHD.”  The official diagnostic 							categories according to the DSM IV of the American Psychiatric 							Association all use the heading “ADHD.” According to the 							manual, there are three subtypes of ADHD: predominantly 							inattentive type; [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 ADD goes away with age, usually around puberty. 


Reality: 							 ADD becomes evident in early childhood and 								usually continues throughout a person&#8217;s life.,  The most 								popular myth about ADD is that it disappears when 								childhood ends. 							 On the contrary, experts now believe that the 							condition lasts a lifetime. How, then, does [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 The existence of ADD can be determined by 								psychological and/or physiological testing.


Reality:  According to CH.A.D.D., the major national 								organization which deals with ADD, there is no definitive 								test for ADD,  not a pencil and paper psychological test, a 							computer test, a blood test, or an x-ray. PET Scans have 							documented certain [...]]]></description>

Myth: 							 ADD is being over diagnosed. It’s really just some 								“yuppie” excuse for poor parenting.


Reality: 							 If anything, ADD is under-diagnosed and often 								misdiagnosed.  Although piles of books exist on the subject and modern teacher training programs do include some training in ADD and learning disabilities, there still is a major lack of [...]]]></description>
