YOu had me with you until you stated that ADHD is not real. OK, you obviously have NO experience with this subject, and nothing anyone can say will change your mind. I've had numerous discussions with people just like you. And, all it is is misinformation on their part.

I agree that small children do not need to be diagnosed with AD/HD. They are kids, kids are active. Unless a child is a danger to himself and others, I see no need for medication, just extra adult supervision. Until this stigma of AD/HD is better understood, a lot of the world just sees parents and taking the 'easy' way out and drugging their kids. Believe me, there is much, much more than the meds. Weekly teacher meetings, Monthly faculty meetings with the counselor, VP, all kinds of peeps, 3 days a week of tutoring after school to catch up on assignments misplaced, or just unreadable due to dysgraphia (another made up condition, I suppose). anyway, I know there will always be doubters, but until you have walked 13 yrs in my shoes and tried all the alternatives I have and are willing to still do everything I must do to maintain my daughter's school activities, I'm sticking with what i'm doing. I'm also quite Ok in my skin.
