It’s exactly what every parent needs to hear BEFORE they decide to medicate their child.

“Whatever that f*cking [ADHD] is, it’s a superpower. It’s a superpower if you use it right. Just the idea that you have to medicate a kid because you can’t sit in school. Find out if that kid’s good at other stuff. Find out if there’s a thing that.

Okay, maybe they can’t sit there where someone’s teaching them math. Maybe they get bored real quick... I bet they focus like a motherf*cker when they’re playing video games, right? So what’s that all about? Find the thing that that kid can lock into.

“The thing is, you make people do things that are completely unnatural. You make people sit down when they’re six in a chair, while some lady who’s making $35,000 a year doesn’t like kids, is teaching them some sh*t that she doesn’t care about.

“So there’s no energy in the room… So they’re talking. ‘This is bullsh*t. This class sucks’… and then they get in trouble for talking like, ughhh… ‘Your child’s a problem.’ Is the child really the problem?

“Seems like the child has a lot of energy. That’s not a problem. You’re not providing an inspiring environment for a growing mind.”

MY TAKE: Don’t rush to medicate kids. Find out what excites them and watch them thrive.
