i htink, quite honestly, that the complexity of the human brain and the variations in it person-to-person leave a lot of room for deviations from 'average' and therefore nearly every personality trait is a deficiency of this or a a plurality of that.
when i was young, ADD kids were described as being hyper or 'a handful'. they were given outlets.
now they're given drugs.
oh, brave new world!

It's not quite that simple.
It's not like parents are keeping their children cooped up in the cellar and they run wild only when let out into daylight. They get outlets.
You can give some ADD kids every outlet in the world but when the outlets are exhausted and the kid has expended a megaton of energy, they still won't be able to focus.
