I commend you for that post and completely agree. I posted a long post on this above that I had copied and pasted from another thread in my reply to it being hereditary, the different types, etc.
I think that having children is a very important choice and life decision and one in which everyone should make the decision that is best for them, but I wanted to second that as someone with a has a special needs child, that ADD/ADHD or the fear of it wouldn't be a deciding factor in that decision for me.
I don't discuss my personal life on here very much, but I never wanted children because of the number of hours I work and the number of hours I've volunteered outside of work in my adult life. I thought that my lack of time would be unfair to bring a child into this world, and I have no biological children of my own.
However, as part of the type of volunteer work I was doing at the time many years ago, I was very blessed to have met a very special, special needs child that I worked with for over a year and when their family gave them up, I adopted them.
I'm a very proud single dad to a wonderful special needs daughter and I don't think that her condition defines her at all, it makes her unique and it makes her special.
That's one of the reasons that I'm a very private person and don't do a lot of the more lifestyle type videos that some supplement company owners like to do to promote their companies now days - because I love supplements and I love helping people, but I love my daughter and my home, office, and lifestyle is largely set up around her. So instead of a video showing some elaborate office with a nice desk and designer furniture, what you'd really be seeing is her artwork on the walls and stuffed animals and things (which she loves) all over the place. And instead of seeing some pimped out cool house with a home gym setup or something like that, you'd see a home that looks like it got invaded by stuffed animals and Disney princesses and where she loves Halloween so much that we leave our decorations up until she decides to take them down haha.
