Adhd On Coronation Street

[dave50]

Wondered how long it would be before this 'issue' was raised, of course then having a phone number to ring at the end of the program for anyone with any concerns. Why cant they just stick with entertaining us with the odd laugh in between instead of thinking they have to lecture us all about social issues?

hc, when this topic is raised there are a;ways those who disbelieve the existence of it and who trot out the 'good smack' treatment.


Their mind is set and no amount of evidence to the contrary will shake them.

[hc4361]

That's true, Mamyalynne.

It does seem to have come about rather quick. The child was fine before they went on holiday. Would the symptoms really manifest themselves in such a short space of time?

[hc4361]

Before he went on holiday his parents were called in to the school because of his bad behaviour, he smashed the tv and was generally running amok.

He was showing signs before they went away cupid, see hc's post at 12:33.

[cupid04]

Oops sorry missed that...I shall pay more attention in the future!

[hc4361]

Maybe you have ADHD, cupid :D

[cupid04]

I have a bad habit of scanning threads rather than reading them fully...that's all, lol!

As others have advised dave50, soaps are sometimes the only method of getting health and social care information into people's homes.

In an ideal world, we would all understand medical and social problems, and access the help and advice available, but often, people live in complete ignorance of issues directly affecting them.

Those who need the advice have a point of contact, those that don't have about ten seconds of their time wasted - I call that a worthwhile use of TV time.

As usual hc4361 and andy-hughes have brought some clear, concise and sensible answers to the original question IMHO.
