    I know someone who is trying to get their young kid evaluated and potentially diagnosed and now they’re having second thoughts. I don’t know how they’re putting this registry together but I wouldn’t want my kid on it

      I’m an adult trying to get evaluated for ADHD (and possibly/probably autism as well) and I’m having second thoughts. That’s the healthy, sane reaction to the prospects of being put on a list by a man who has proposed “wellness camps”, while living under a government actively exploring their options for creating concentration camps both foreign and domestic.
