ADHD bologna
Over on I Speak of Dreams, Liz Ditz has a post regarding the untrustworthiness of a Web site on ADHD. Liz refers to a post on Drumsnwhistles that took the Attention Deficit Disorder blog to task for making false statements about research and for pushing remedies of ADHD that have virtually no evidenciary bases. I’m glad to see that folks on the Internet are gazing with a sensibly skeptical eye on some of these merchandizing schemes. Hoooray! There’s entirely too much bologna on the Web, so let’s root it out of the garden and flush it into the compost heap (teehee–making mush with metaphors).
Link to Liz’s post about the site. Here’s a link to the post on Drumsnwhistles to which Liz referred.
