At that time, one could turn to very few places for support or information. Many people misunderstood ADHD and questioned if it was even a real thing. Many clinicians and educators knew little about the disability, and individuals with ADHD were often mistakenly labeled “a behavior problem,” “unmotivated,” or “not intelligent enough.”
