If your original argument was that there are cases in which these conditions are diagnosed too quickly, or 'pocket' areas where there are a grossly dissproportionate amount of children diagnosed with ADHD or ODD and thus given stimulant medications you likely would have received fewer arguments. I certainly wouldn't have argued.

As for the DEA's involvement, they have an entirely different concern, that being that many of the drugs used to treat these conditions are highly abusable. More up to date information than that provided at Mr. Kane's website, or than at the add-adhd.org website (a website which is actually part of the optometrists network, and lists several articles about how ADHD is often really a vision problem, amusingly enough) can be found at the DEA's goverment website, including the most recent congressional testimony on the topic. Prescription stimulant abuse is definitely a growing problem in our country, and does become more so as more people, particularly teenagers, are diagnosed with ADHD and given amphetamines.
