Medical Fads

Anybody notice every few years there is a new condition that nearly EVERY kid has?

Like when I was in Elementary school every single kid was diagnosed with ADHD. Any kid that talked too much or just didn't wanna do his work was excused for having ADHD. Now, it seems like nearly every kid in the fucking high school as Aspergers. Anytime a kid acts weird or is shy he proclaims that he has Aspergers.

I mean seriously, how many people can actually have this stuff?

Even if that isn't the case, let's make it so. All Newgrounders will now go around telling everyone they have a terminal case of Gynophobia.

I don't think I've heard of anyone in my school being diagnosed with aspergers.

Really? I hear about it all the time. Any socially awkward kid gets a free pass for having aspergers, instead of actually having to deal with bullies and get readjusted to social settings.

I remember the swine flu pandemic, ah the NHS went mad. Not quite what you're getting at but a still a "medical fad" shops and schools got closed down as soon as one person got it from there by order of the government. Bird flu before that, foot and mouth before that, good fun.

Most of the time people seem to self-diagnose this stuff. I mean, sometimes people are just shy and there isn't anything else behind it.

I feel bad for the 4 year olds being prescribed adhd medication its like we are grooming fat lethargic white collar workers who piddle away on their samrtfone watching the latest shit critically acclaimed tv series while waiting for their wow game to load

[Sneak-a-Toke]

that's a serious case of assburgers, i mean aspergers.

It's because the whole thing is actually bullshit. I was "diagnosed" with Aspergers myself and don't believe it for a second. People who use their alleged autism as an excuse are just lazy cunts.

This. Half of the time, the doctor is just taking the easy way out.

I just looked up all the symptoms for aspergers. You know what's funny? I had every single one up until a year ago. It's social anxiety in its highest form (except the hand writing thing, but my hand writing could be better with practice, but in college all things are done with computer so FUCK that). I got past it. You know how? I stopped being a bitch. So if your kid has aspergers, that's his medication. Tell them to stop being a bitch.

Nobody at my school is diagnosed with aspergers nor ADHD. But we do have a shitload of pretenders, who act like they're dying, so that the teachers let them go home

Lol I never once said I'm smarter than a doctor. Aspergers is just a bullshit. There's a cure for social anxiety and it's not medication, it's called Not Being A Bitch. NBAB.

It is funny because rare conditions are apparently contracted by the majority of people.
