I find it interesting that the parents of children who genuinely have these problems are the ones that state that they spend a great deal of time, and effort into researching and getting the best facilities and help for their kids in order that they may live a full and normal life as much as is possible dependent on their level of disability. These are the kids who people don't see out on the street alone, or in gangs, and who mostly close family / teachers / friends are the only ones to witness issues.

It seems to me, though, that it is a large proportion of younger parents (not exclusively, mind you!) - who have maybe not had great parents themselves to act as an example - who watch too many daytime tv shows and would prefer to turf their kids out on the street to terrorize the general public who fall back on these "conditions".

I find it hard to believe that a 2 year old can be accurately "diagnosed", especially when it is the same two year old screaming and having howling fits that can clearly scream "ICE CREAM"! It is the same child that becomes a waster, as the parents had a ready excuse for any bad behaviour.
I don't think I'm alone in thinking that these people deserve stoning for their complete and utter lack of respect to what real parents go through and deal with on a daily basis. It's thanks to them that money is wasted, experts and other help aren't available and people with genuine problems end up waiting in fear of being written off as another lazy parent.

Rant over!
