Snark = acerbic remarks

Real ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder: this is a serious neurological condition that has devastating implications both for the sufferer, the family, the school and the community. There is also a condition, slightly less serious but just as difficult for all concerned, sometimes called Attention Deficit Disorder that encompasses a range of physical and mental problems that prevent children from concentrating on their school work or other tasks.

None of the things I am saying are directed at those who suffer from these conditions. Nor am I criticizing the parents or care givers of these children. However this article describes a cluster of pseudo diseases I place under the umbrella of (f)ADD. Read the rest of my comments here

    About Snark

    The echidna is, as you can see, very prickly. She lays an egg that hatches  in her pouch and feeds on milk. As the little one grows it begins to get spines and to prickle the mother. So she throws it out, leaves it in the burrow and comes back every few days to allow it to put its head into her pouch and feed. This is the place for my prickly thoughts.
