"ADD is a type of ADHD that doesn't involve constant movement and fidgeting. But it's a blurry distinction."

Both are synonyms for "boy".

@billstclair @Kranko I just wrote a thread about my experience with ADD/ADHD behaviors here (qoto.org/@realcaseyrollins/102) but yes, another thing Peterson was saying with that ADD/ADHD behaviors are far more common in boys than they are in girls.

@realcaseyrollins @Kranko

The proper treatment for AD[H]D is sending the (usually) boy outside to play, excusing him from the classroom until he's ready to sit still, which may be a number of years.

@billstclair @Kranko Yeah. The summary for how I "grew out of it" so to speak was basically switching to homeschooling after being in private school, which cut down on my "class time" so by lunch I'd be done with school, so I'd spend my whole day playing outside with my brother, playing video games or playing with toy cars.
