The context of the made-up constraints/expectations/etc. of our so-called civilized society. If one doesn't easily fit into and comply with mainstream standards, one is likely to be labeled as abnormal or diseased, and in need of treatment. So, which is made up - the disease or the narrow definition of "normal".

I apologize. I am clueless as to what is the meaning of anything you have written here. I am even more clueless as to how what you have written would enhance the life of my friend with ADHD.What do you think of Len Adler's stuff? Honestly.
