There's a real noticeable increase in different types of behavioral problems. Regardless if it's adhd, add, or other letter combination. Or just plain old bad parenting (and there's plenty of that)
I met up with a few of my old teachers and classmates last year. They all said the same. That they've seen and noticed this increase over the last 20 years.
I don't think anecdotal observation weighs particularly heavy in this instance, especially given the fallibility of the human memory.
The idea that everything is caused by more awareness is also just speculation based on anecdotal evidence. Not a bad speculation, but we shouldn't take it for a fact without a better study on that topic. Having anecdotal evidence against a hypothesis strenghtens the case for a proper study.
Yes, let's not listen to the people who's been making a Living teaching children for almost 3 decades.
They probably don't know what they're talking about.
