Fish, if you are going extra traditional you cut out eggs and milk but still can have fish and if you are trying eastern lent you can have crab but not regular fish

Was diagnosed with it in the 80s as a kid.  In high school, I thought ADHD was a lie and stopped taking anything. I figured it was all a big lie for decades.  Then, last year I heard about how ADHD folk think and behave, and heard explanations about diminished dopamine receptors and all that.  I now think it's real, but I do not advocate meds for it.  

Speaking for myself, at some point I had to put down the viddya games, and I taught myself to appreciate reading, writing, critical thinking, and things of that nature.  At this stage of my life, I'd probably even not mind mathematics.  If I need energy and focus, I drink coffee or some sort of caffeinated drink.  

The ability to hyperfocus is a gift.  Boredom while the rest of the herd is easily amused with mudane things now makes perfect sense to me.  Avoid the drugs, and don't give them to your kids.

I don't really disagree with you, though I'm not going to attempt to plumb the root causes of these phenomena.  I merely meant that I see a kind of "witch hunt" in which there is this paradigm of the "normal person", and anyone falling outside of that paradigm has a label slapped on them, and where possible, they are medicated with a goal of drawing them closer to the norm.  (I don't suppose there's really a medication for autism as such, though there certainly are medications for ADD/ADHD.)

I just have to wonder (again, aside from truly morbid cases) what harm it would do, just to let eccentrics be themselves, and let their eccentricity lead them wherever it ends up leading them.  And one other thing that I see as significant, is the tendency to want to "medicate the boy out of boys", and make them these docile creatures who want to sit for hours and read books, get their lessons, IOW, to be more like girls, instead of being rambunctious, quick-witted youngsters who learn best in other ways.  Unless it would be in the lower grades, coeducation really isn't possible, boys and girls are just too different.  Pius XI warned of this in Divini illius magistri, but where do you see his teaching being followed anymore?
medication for aspergers is called talking to people, you pick up social cues and become normal pretty fast (also gaps diet)
