Suprising

While researching ADHD from time to time I would find out something that would really suprise me. The thing that I found out that suprised me the most was that individuals that have ADHD usually stop taking medication for it when they get older. And the worst part is the only real reason that was said was because they got embarassed of having this so called child's disorder. So as a society we have put so much negativity into having these kinds of disorders that affected individuals will go so far as to stop taking medication because they are embarassed of it. I think that this shows a great deal of immaturity and lack of respect that our society has for its own people. It is one thing to ridicule another society because they are diffrent but we are talking about our own society and we act as though this disorder is so bad that we cause those who it affects the worst to cease treatment because they do not want to be made fun of or lose an oppurtunity because of a problem they really can't help.
