I know about ADHD - I was saying that they were treating the TM pitch
like the timeshare pitch - overpriced, most just there for the
freebees...Maybe the rise in the diagnosis of ADHD has something to do
with lack of recess, physical exercise, bad diet (excessive sugar),
and the profit in ritalin, than a real change in the physiology of
kids. (My wife ran the in school suspension program in two different
school systems...)
