The most fucked up part about this is that nurse misdiagnosed Bobby. He simply had too much surgary cereal before school and was on a surgar high. But the school was ready to medicate him or send him to a special needs school without a second opinion from a doctor. It just smacks of irresponsibility on the school's part.
@@tut28Angel Doesn't help that the funding scale is ass backwards. The schools that score the highest (and obviously have all the funds they need because they score high) get MORE funding than the schools that score low. (You know, the ones that seem to need a little help.) 🙄
I don't understand why the hell a school nurse would diagnose him with ADD. School nurses aren't psychologists or work in the field of psychiatry at all, all they do is give medications to kids who need to take them during the day, clean and dress cuts and conduct physicals for those on sports teams. When I was diagnosed with being on the spectrum, I was taken to a different amount of doctors, only because my teachers told my mom about me having trouble with paying attention and stuff. My mom knew I had something going on and she wanted me to get diagnosed before I went to school but from what I learned, doctors will only accept you if a teacher or principal says something. Bobby had 3 bowls of sugary cereal, the last one being coated with extra sugar due to Hank believing it wouldn't wake him up. You're absolutely right though: a lot of schools are willing to drop or place a student into special education if they think they have one little thing wrong with them.
Yup. Misdiagnosed with dyslexia when I was a kid. My parents spent thousands of dollars to send me and my brother (who was actually dyslexic) to a special school called "The Lymon Center"; which I don't necessarily regret since I had a lot of fun going there. It was pretty fun...but I wasn't dyslexic. I do have ADD so who knows. Maybe it helped me in other ways? I just remember I had a great time going there and I wouldn't change that experience for the world.
Mr. Van Driessen: "Hmmm. That's funny. I just heard about a study that said that sugar isn't supposed to cause hyperactivity." Beavis: "I'AM CORNHOLIO! I HAVE NO BUNGHOLE!!!"
I remember when I was in school and they tried to tell my parents this kinda thing and my mom said "He's not a.d.d. he's bored and lazy." And they suggested medication, my dad said he was going to prescribe me an ass whooping. Lol
Those are the only way two ways to treat someone… if you don’t treat someone the same you treat them differently and if you don’t treat them differently… well then you’re treating them same as everyone else. You can’t treat someone the same, but also differently. I guess perhaps you mean you you want them treated the same or differently depending on the specific situation or circumstances?
I'm the dyslexic and I didn't find out till after I graduated high school. Someone else I work with was the one that told me. Which definitely explains a lot. Like I cannot sound out words to spell it. That just makes it worse trying to sound them out. And I'll see numbers but I'll call it the wrong number for no reason. Would have save me a lot of headache in school growing up if they would have known that.

Something like this happened to a friend of mine. He is very creative and intelligent so he got bored and distracted really easily in class. Add the fact he had a rough home life, and he became the "problem child". The school suggested his parents take him to a doctor, who immediately put him on a pile of pills before even checking him to see if it was even necessary. The poor guy went through a hell of a time from ages 10 through 18. At one point one of his meds caused him to retain so much fluid that literally swelled up to nearly twice his size in less than two weeks, before they took him off the pill, reverting him back to his thin frame almost a month later. Most upsetting to me is that rather than try to understand him, his parents just listened to the dictors and kept pumping him full of pills. This in turn caused him to rebel and act out, making him seem more unstable. So for years he was nearly always alone because his family didn't realize that his issues were from his meds. Fortunately at some point they took him off the pills and he became a normal person again. While his family life remained strained, his creativity and intellect came out and he showed a talent for electronics. Last I checked he got a job at Tesla and started his own family. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same luck.
@@Reub3 I was on them for about 1 year, I can confirm, How Bobby acted from the pills is pretty accurate.. Detached, Oddly-Numb, Zero Drive/Initiative. It made me socially awkward and anxious around people for a very, very long time after (like years), rather than the "class clown" I was labeled the year before.
I was part of a misdiagnosis of ADD. Never got medicated luckily. But I was in school during this Era. I love hank, and this is why. that show if they blamed the school hank would be pissed, if the said Bobby needed drugs hank would be pissed. If they claimed special classes were need, hank would be pissed. After realizing that he was pissed at every solution offered, he would look inwardly eventually and come to the most logical conclusion. Hank is a mentor for reasonable thinking, whether or not it makes you uncomfortable.
In the US they didn't need to. They used to just give teachers the ability to prescribe amphetamines to zonk out kids so they wouldn't cause disruptions. Now we have crack addicts all across the us. And most of them still use ADD/ADHD as an excuse to stay high 😐
@@TehButterflyEffect Tell us you've never been to Arlen, Texas without telling us you've never been to Arlen, Texas (and I swear boy if you clap back with "its a fictional town", I'm calling Boomhauer to settle you down...its no more fiction than Green bow, Alabama.)
When I was in school I was almost put in the special needs class for a small speech impediment. My mom straightened that out real quick by sitting me in a chair and screaming in my face for days about how the school was gonna label me learning disabled, stupid, mentally handicapped. Ya know, the classics. And eventually after I think day 3 or 4, I finally was able to basically force myself not to have a speech tick. So the fact they were willing to diagnose Bobby wrong, is a completely plausible thing that has happened.
@Mike28625 she did plenty of that, but that was because my sister and I were constantly harassed, I was assaulted a few times and my sister was almost killed. Pretty much we were pariahs because we were the only atheists in town. Things only got worse around holidays. Let's put it this way. There was never a time mom wasn't screaming at me or someone else. She did the same thing if I misbehaved in a store. Pulled out and yelled at me for hours if not days for being disruptive. I just thought it was normal until I saw other families.
I was put in a special reading program once. I was pulled from class and some lady talked to me about reading and vowel sounds and I was nervous and messed up on basic questions. So they put me in a class a few hours a day with kids that were...let's just say clearly not as smart as me on a number if subjects. Never had a problem reading I was just slower to get my work done than most other kids. Eventually they just stopped making me go but that was alot of hours on "easy street" for me because of a 15 minute conversation where they thought they had me figured out.
@Syrin123 the class they had me in was being taught by a blind teacher. Seems like a similar situation. The funny part is, is that I'm now a published author and pay people who were better in the classes I wasn't good in to fix mistakes. My stupidity and inability to concentrate now contributes to the economy lol
What's funny is that the medicine they put him on actually _did_ help his concentration. It was just the wrong dose. Luanne took one of Bobby's pills and it just made her super hyper (because Ritalin is an amphetamine so it's pretty close to meth). But for people with ADHD, Ritalin actually works the opposite way, calms them down and helps them focus. Which is exactly what it did to Bobby.
@@Eshtian on a metaphysical esoteric mystical woo woo I'm 14 and this is deep level, sure, nobody is real, nothing is real, only change. But ADHD isn't real even on a mundane level. It's not a chemical imbalance. It's a symptom that can be caused by a large variety of factors and the claim that Ritalin or Adderall are needed for all people with such symptoms is blatantly false and has no actual science or measurements behind it. It's for money. And people buy into it because they're bandwagon joiners and intellectually lazy.
Ugh... I saw middle school kids seem to use their Ritalin time (which was always right after lunch) to simply just get out of class and take their SWEET time going to the office and their sweet time getting back to class... then coming back to the band room with their eyes glazed over...
I have ADD, it wasn’t a problem until adulthood when I had actual important things to remember and keep track of. My sister made me see a psychologist and I got diagnosed pretty quickly 😂
Honestly, I have severe ADHD (now it's just called ADD) and medication changed my world. I finally felt normal and could do simple things that were monumentally difficult before. The neuronal difference really exists.
@@ResidentMilf Dont need a medical degree to read the difference on google.. "Most people with ADHD struggle in all three areas. But some mainly have trouble with attention, or focus. Before 1994, they would have been diagnosed with ADD (attention-deficit disorder). Today, the formal diagnosis is “ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type.” There are other terms people use to refer to this type of ADHD. You might hear: ADHD without hyperactivity ADHD, Inattentive Type Inattentive ADHD"
@@ResidentMilf "How people misuse the term ADD Many of us have heard people say something like “You’re so ADD,” “I’m so ADD,” or “I’m having an ADD moment.” Someone may say this as shorthand for behavior typical of ADHD, like forgetfulness. But phrases like these can downplay the challenges that people with ADHD face every day. They also frame having ADHD as a negative thing. For people with diagnosed ADHD, hearing phrases like these thrown around can be painful. Phrases like “You’re so ADD” also spread stigma around ADHD." Also, having a short attention span is not ADD... though many people take Meth for that reason daily. Prescribed or not. "What are the ingredients in Adderall ? Active Ingredient: dextro-amphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate, dextro-amphetamine sulfate and amphetamine sulfate." The active ingredient sought after in Meth... "Meth-amphetamine" Funny how they prescribe people who have little attention span a chemical with a very strong side effect of, Zero Attention span, Inability to chain thoughts, inability to finish a sentence..
As someone who actually suffers from ADHD and actually got diagnosed via a specialized clinician with a LONGGGGG test: this hurts. Especially cause Hank's a damn saint. He's right to seek alternative treatments before medication: America doesn't care about fixing problems they only want to prescribe solutions. I wasn't "broken" I didn't need "fixing" I needed a system that accounted for differences in human personality and cognition. I've since gone on to work in professional welding positions, inventory management & now work in a remote network security job. I was never "slow" I just couldn't focus on banal information I already understood & internalized and I couldn't sit still. So they said I have a "learning disability" and gave me a prescription. My life only changed for the better when I stopped trying to "manage" myself and just work around how I naturally best operate. Never got that help from the U.S education system or the medical system though... Had to figure that out on my own.
This show is on another level. So funny from so many different angles, all while presented in an unassuming comedy about an oldschool normie in America. Its such an amazing show
Reminds me of when I started taking Concerta back in 2000. I would sit in class and feverishly draw and sketch things, and the teacher asked if I was paying attention, so I recited back the entire class' conversation like a stenographer
Some of the older guys on the coast told me that in the days before limits they would wade out with a kiddie pool floating on top of the water and fill it up with scallops. Maybe not the most ecologically sound practice but it does make for a good story!
The secret to this, is schools get additional funding proportional to the number of "special needs" children currently enrolled. In third grade I was labeled as 'Learning disabled' and placed in the special education classroom, but once my grades stabilized, I was relabeled as 'emotionally disturbed' in fourth grade and they cited my lack of friends amongst the actually disabled children. Then they alternated "ADD" and "ADHD" for the rest of my education every two years during 'reevaluations.' I would say in my school and in my experience, for ever ten special education students, one actually had special needs. Mind, that I graduated in 07 I also noticed that there were about thirty nine 'special needs children' two grades above mine, and when they graduated, mysteriously, the special education staff, including social workers and psychologists, was sharply curbed the following year. It was really fortunate that they had nearly twenty five new special needs children pop up in the K-2 grades over that year and the next year, all the staff that had been absent were rehired. Weird, huh? But, I was assured that 'theres no quota or additional funding, we have to allocate these funds out of our budget' when I had questioned them on it, contrary to state policies in regards to special needs education I happened to look up, post graduation.
When he said you bastards he spoke for anyone with a kid with any mental divergence no matter how small or large. Setting them all aside in one group is a cruelly simple solution.
I got put on effexor in highschool, and it gave me debilitating brain zaps (turns out to be common) and I would roll-over screaming. Went off it a week later. The PhD that prescribed it met me ONCE, and I had trouble opening up about divorce issues. So he sent us home with an Rx for it. I'm 110% functional in my adulthood now, but I will never, for any reason, deal with a psychologist again.
Why would they put you on effexor before trying anything else first? And after one meeting? That's some heavy duty shit, it's what they put people with treatment-resistant depression on when the regular stuff stops working. Jesus Christ, who gave that man a medical license? Sounds like he went into medicine because he wanted to be rich and doesn't care about people.
What is a school nurse "diagnosing" anyone? She may think he has ADHD, but IRL, she would be encouraging the parents to take him to a doctor. And it would likely be the teacher having a meeting with the parents rather than the nurse herself. I love this show.
It was accurate with the time it was released. I remember a whole line to the nurses office for early productions of riddlin. And when it didn't "work" a doctor was encouraged to up me to Adderall. I didn't eat for weeks and my mom said fuck that and took me off.
@@nachodragon659 I'm not sure what you're referring to with "early productions of Ritalin" (methylphenidate) but a nurse cannot administer a prescribed medication without a prescription from a doctor (unless they are a nurse practitioner). If the nurse did such things that is illegal and malpractice. My younger brother had to go through extensive testing at hospitals and doctors offices before there was any prescribing. Yes, he got to the point that he refused to take it, because it made him a zombie and that was the end of it, but the school suggested during a parent/teacher conference that my parents consult with a doctor because they suspected it was medical. Maybe at some point doctors started giving it out like candy, but in the late 80s/early 90s, medicating a child with a stimulant was an extensive process and taken very seriously.
My school tried telling my dad I had ADD. He started laughing and told them he's seen me sit quietly and read a 1k page book from cover to cover in one sitting and that I didn't have ADD, they were just boring.
that actually can be a symptom of ADHD tho lol. it's called hyperfocus and is usually triggered by interesting, high-reward or urgent activities in part because of the way they engage your nervous system. ADHD means attention deficit hyperactive disorder, so a) your attention doesn't go where it "should" (obv this is very subjective) and you tend to hyperfocus on certain things and underfocus on most other things, and b) your nervous system is overactive, which usually manifests as physical hyperactivity, hyperfocus, racing/distracting thoughts, insomnia and/or difficulty relaxing. not saying you had ADHD lol but I do and I was that kid who was reading huge books until midnight but could not focus on a thing my teacher said in class, even when I tried to make myself listen. as an adult I still have to force myself to pay attention at work instead of my mind latching onto some random thing. meds help but my brain just does not automatically focus where it is supposed to and it takes a lot of willpower to wrangle it :') I always forgot my homework and my desk was a mess but i aced the tests lol... unfortunately, in adult life, most things are more "homework" than "tests" 😅
@@kelpo6304I also have ADHD and 100% agree with and relate to your comment! Reading was always a major hyperfocus for me! Ironically I wasn't diagnosed until I was 30 yrs old, because they refused to consider it when I was a young teenager. That was the reality for girls especially in the early '00s. My dad has ADHD too and recognised the symptoms in me, and he tried to get someone to take it seriously enough to test me (to either diagnose or rule it out). But I very clearly remember being told that there was nothing wrong with me, I was just bored of my hometown and would be fine once I graduated and moved away... I was not fine. I struggled so hard in college and dropped out. I've struggled with work and with maintaining friendships. I'm finally thriving now that I'm on medication! But all I ever wanted was someone to take me seriously enough to consider a diagnosis and give me tools to help me get over the barrier and finally live up to my potential.
@@kelpo6304 LOL No. I don't have hyper focus, whatever the hell that is. It's not like I felt compelled to sit there and read nonstop. I just was enjoying the book, had nothing else I had to do that day, and saw no reason to stop reading.
I remember i got bullied in Middle School quite relentlessly, and my parents requested to see the Principal about the problem. He then proceeded to ask my parents if i had autism- just for being bullied, and despite the school having performed little-to-no action in punishing the kids that'd torment me. Needless to say, my parents were livid that he'd make that assumption despite being merely a principal, with no medical qualifications whatsoever.
A wchool nurse doesn't have the authority to diagnose a condition like this, the best she'd be able to do is refer him to a doctor, who would have noticed he was having a sugar rush. But hey, it was the early 2000's, doping up middle school kids was all the rage
As was giving schools cutrate funding and stripping even that away if kids didn't pass their tests, so schools were basically incentivized to say kids had mental disorders when they couldn't pass. You get what you paid for, or rather, you got the schooling your government deigned to pay for.
Okay, Mike Judge is one of my heroes and I would never want to change anything about any of these shows, but is no one going to mention the fact that this alternative non-king of the hill background music was pretty special.
Funny how schools think they know what's better for kids then their own parents. They wanna have equal say in a child's day-to-day life but believe it's the parent sole responsibility to pay any bills that may show up along the way.
The problem is the parent needs to take care of their kid. The school needs to manages ALL of your kids. And unlike a family that has 1 or 2 adults to handle maybe 1-6 kids, the school has maybe a couple dozen adults that needs to deal with 100s, sometimes 1000s of kids. And they need to do it with more restraints and less funding. If one kid is making things harder for two dozen other kids, and the school doesn't have the funding to deal with it because government funding has been dried up for decades, their main option is just to remove the kid and deal with one angry set of parents rather than do nothing and risk a dozen angry parents.
dont medicate adhd first, check into therapy and understanding, help the kid with adhd what's actually going on and why and how to handle it, the medicine often leads kids to meth, they get tolerant to it and so they self-medicate without even knowing why meth works like it does for them.
Welp thanks for that, I enjoy paranoia. Im on ADHD medication and now I fear im even more succeptible to getting hooked on drugs than I already was. (I have an addictive personality, especially when it comes to stimulants like Caffeine and such)
@@synshenron798 it is good to find non-medical ways of addressing it without being medicated, and it is true that meth and ritalin are more or less the same drug, but if you don't abuse ritalin or seek out and buy meth, you should be fine. Your prescription should make abusing your medicine difficult, though it isn't uncommon.
@koshi6505 Tell that to the millions of children who are misdiagnosed and grew up getting mental disorders, decreased brain functionality, and other damages.
@@young7931 I'm with you 100% A close friend of mine was diagnosed with ADHD when he was about 11 or so, and the medication started. Now he's in his 30s, still leaves with his mom and takes medication for hearing voices. The doctors say he'll never be able to work or learn to drive.
I'm so glad that the medical profession, big pharma, and science have come a long way since then. I can't imagine what the world would be like if we put kids demonstrating unusual behaviors on life-changing medications today.
Noticed the crazy shaking of the entire cartoon? Because we really didn't know any better. Haha, I thought it never shook at all until I saw this clip today.
As someone who was diagnosed with ADD and placed on medication that I had to take twice daily. (only for the medication to really do nothing) Only two later on in life, have the school diagnosed me as dyslexic and move me to a “special” class I can say with 100% honesty, the American school systems, ability to diagnosis the students .

Very true, like that Peggy Hill foot fetish episode.
That's what's sad with mental disabilities, either you're treated the same or you're treated differently-hence regular school or special ed school.
Those are the only way two ways to treat someone… if you don’t treat someone the same you treat them differently and if you don’t treat them differently… well then you’re treating them same as everyone else.
You can’t treat someone the same, but also differently. I guess perhaps you mean you you want them treated the same or differently depending on the specific situation or circumstances?
I'm the dyslexic and I didn't find out till after I graduated high school. Someone else I work with was the one that told me. Which definitely explains a lot.

@@Haibing22 I think OP means that the options are taken to the extreme. Like either you do exactly as everyone else, even if it is unreasonable to think you can, or your treated like you can’t function, even when that isn’t true. Just my thoughts though.
@@richardwilliams3080 I think this nails the idea. It's like color blindness. You say you struggle with colors and people assume you can't see anything or have no disability. "What's this color?!" (Struggles of literally everything having red and green fml). Additionally as someone who has lived the social outcast role of being too smart for most people and too dumb for everyone else... I really wish people could see more than black and white. Now I'm an over educated baffoon that believes he doesn't fit in anywhere.
Something like this happened to a friend of mine.
He is very creative and intelligent so he got bored and distracted really easily in class. Add the fact he had a rough home life, and he became the "problem child".
The school suggested his parents take him to a doctor, who immediately put him on a pile of pills before even checking him to see if it was even necessary.
The poor guy went through a hell of a time from ages 10 through 18. At one point one of his meds caused him to retain so much fluid that literally swelled up to nearly twice his size in less than two weeks, before they took him off the pill, reverting him back to his thin frame almost a month later.
Most upsetting to me is that rather than try to understand him, his parents just listened to the dictors and kept pumping him full of pills. This in turn caused him to rebel and act out, making him seem more unstable. So for years he was nearly always alone because his family didn't realize that his issues were from his meds.
Fortunately at some point they took him off the pills and he became a normal person again. While his family life remained strained, his creativity and intellect came out and he showed a talent for electronics. Last I checked he got a job at Tesla and started his own family.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the same luck.

@@Reub3 I was on them for about 1 year, I can confirm, How Bobby acted from the pills is pretty accurate.. Detached, Oddly-Numb, Zero Drive/Initiative. It made me socially awkward and anxious around people for a very, very long time after (like years), rather than the "class clown" I was labeled the year before.
I was part of a misdiagnosis of ADD. Never got medicated luckily. But I was in school during this Era. I love hank, and this is why. that show if they blamed the school hank would be pissed, if the said Bobby needed drugs hank would be pissed. If they claimed special classes were need, hank would be pissed. After realizing that he was pissed at every solution offered, he would look inwardly eventually and come to the most logical conclusion. Hank is a mentor for reasonable thinking, whether or not it makes you uncomfortable.
Fun fact: nurses can't diagnose, legally.
nurse practitioners can however
In the US they didn't need to. They used to just give teachers the ability to prescribe amphetamines to zonk out kids so they wouldn't cause disruptions. Now we have crack addicts all across the us. And most of them still use ADD/ADHD as an excuse to stay high 😐

Those BASTARDS! (Of course in that funny typical Hank Hill tone.)
When I was in school I was almost put in the special needs class for a small speech impediment. My mom straightened that out real quick by sitting me in a chair and screaming in my face for days about how the school was gonna label me learning disabled, stupid, mentally handicapped. Ya know, the classics. And eventually after I think day 3 or 4, I finally was able to basically force myself not to have a speech tick. So the fact they were willing to diagnose Bobby wrong, is a completely plausible thing that has happened.
Jesus Christ
She was supposed to yell at the school
@Mike28625 she did plenty of that, but that was because my sister and I were constantly harassed, I was assaulted a few times and my sister was almost killed. Pretty much we were pariahs because we were the only atheists in town. Things only got worse around holidays. Let's put it this way. There was never a time mom wasn't screaming at me or someone else. She did the same thing if I misbehaved in a store. Pulled out and yelled at me for hours if not days for being disruptive. I just thought it was normal until I saw other families.
I was put in a special reading program once. I was pulled from class and some lady talked to me about reading and vowel sounds and I was nervous and messed up on basic questions. So they put me in a class a few hours a day with kids that were...let's just say clearly not as smart as me on a number if subjects.
Never had a problem reading I was just slower to get my work done than most other kids. Eventually they just stopped making me go but that was alot of hours on "easy street" for me because of a 15 minute conversation where they thought they had me figured out.
@Syrin123 the class they had me in was being taught by a blind teacher. Seems like a similar situation. The funny part is, is that I'm now a published author and pay people who were better in the classes I wasn't good in to fix mistakes. My stupidity and inability to concentrate now contributes to the economy lol
What's funny is that the medicine they put him on actually _did_ help his concentration. It was just the wrong dose. Luanne took one of Bobby's pills and it just made her super hyper (because Ritalin is an amphetamine so it's pretty close to meth). But for people with ADHD, Ritalin actually works the opposite way, calms them down and helps them focus. Which is exactly what it did to Bobby.
ADHD isn't real
@@ud0ntevenkn0wme youre not real
@@Eshtian on a metaphysical esoteric mystical woo woo I'm 14 and this is deep level, sure, nobody is real, nothing is real, only change.
But ADHD isn't real even on a mundane level. It's not a chemical imbalance. It's a symptom that can be caused by a large variety of factors and the claim that Ritalin or Adderall are needed for all people with such symptoms is blatantly false and has no actual science or measurements behind it. It's for money. And people buy into it because they're bandwagon joiners and intellectually lazy.
Sure, never been to college or hung out with these meth addicts, I see 😄
That’s a huge misunderstanding of what stimulants do. They make everyone concentrate.
Bro. Every time I see hank like this I fucking grow in respect for him.
Why is fma background music work so well with this
Doctors tried to put me on Ritalin when I was barely able to talk.
Same thing here, two years old. According to my parents after just one dose I became a vegetable. I never went back to that pediatrician.
Wasn't there some kind of operation?
@@D3xterJettster yeah it’s called an abortion

Honestly, I have severe ADHD (now it's just called ADD) and medication changed my world. I finally felt normal and could do simple things that were monumentally difficult before.
The neuronal difference really exists.
Nah, ADD is the copout basic diagnosis to get medication. ADHD is legitimate.
@Asubatsu "it's only real when they are hyper, tv told me that"
I fixed your comment.
@@Asubatsu Where'd you get your medical degree?
@@ResidentMilf Dont need a medical degree to read the difference on google.. "Most people with ADHD struggle in all three areas. But some mainly have trouble with attention, or focus. Before 1994, they would have been diagnosed with ADD (attention-deficit disorder). Today, the formal diagnosis is “ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type.”
There are other terms people use to refer to this type of ADHD. You might hear:
ADHD without hyperactivity
ADHD, Inattentive Type
Inattentive ADHD"
@@ResidentMilf "How people misuse the term ADD
Many of us have heard people say something like “You’re so ADD,” “I’m so ADD,” or “I’m having an ADD moment.” Someone may say this as shorthand for behavior typical of ADHD, like forgetfulness. But phrases like these can downplay the challenges that people with ADHD face every day. They also frame having ADHD as a negative thing.
For people with diagnosed ADHD, hearing phrases like these thrown around can be painful. Phrases like “You’re so ADD” also spread stigma around ADHD."
Also, having a short attention span is not ADD... though many people take Meth for that reason daily. Prescribed or not.
"What are the ingredients in Adderall ? Active Ingredient: dextro-amphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate, dextro-amphetamine sulfate and amphetamine sulfate."
The active ingredient sought after in Meth... "Meth-amphetamine"
Funny how they prescribe people who have little attention span a chemical with a very strong side effect of, Zero Attention span, Inability to chain thoughts, inability to finish a sentence..

As someone who actually suffers from ADHD and actually got diagnosed via a specialized clinician with a LONGGGGG test: this hurts. Especially cause Hank's a damn saint. He's right to seek alternative treatments before medication: America doesn't care about fixing problems they only want to prescribe solutions.
I wasn't "broken" I didn't need "fixing" I needed a system that accounted for differences in human personality and cognition. I've since gone on to work in professional welding positions, inventory management & now work in a remote network security job. I was never "slow" I just couldn't focus on banal information I already understood & internalized and I couldn't sit still.
So they said I have a "learning disability" and gave me a prescription. My life only changed for the better when I stopped trying to "manage" myself and just work around how I naturally best operate. Never got that help from the U.S education system or the medical system though... Had to figure that out on my own.

This show is on another level. So funny from so many different angles, all while presented in an unassuming comedy about an oldschool normie in America. Its such an amazing show
Reminds me of when I started taking Concerta back in 2000. I would sit in class and feverishly draw and sketch things, and the teacher asked if I was paying attention, so I recited back the entire class' conversation like a stenographer
Thank goodness more people have access to the pamphlets nowadays. Wasn't always the case!
"Give me my goddamn amphetamines Doc!"
Full Metal-King of the Hill.
Some of the older guys on the coast told me that in the days before limits they would wade out with a kiddie pool floating on top of the water and fill it up with scallops. Maybe not the most ecologically sound practice but it does make for a good story!
Had a school try to diagnose my child..our pediatrician went off on them
The secret to this, is schools get additional funding proportional to the number of "special needs" children currently enrolled. In third grade I was labeled as 'Learning disabled' and placed in the special education classroom, but once my grades stabilized, I was relabeled as 'emotionally disturbed' in fourth grade and they cited my lack of friends amongst the actually disabled children. Then they alternated "ADD" and "ADHD" for the rest of my education every two years during 'reevaluations.' I would say in my school and in my experience, for ever ten special education students, one actually had special needs. Mind, that I graduated in 07
I also noticed that there were about thirty nine 'special needs children' two grades above mine, and when they graduated, mysteriously, the special education staff, including social workers and psychologists, was sharply curbed the following year. It was really fortunate that they had nearly twenty five new special needs children pop up in the K-2 grades over that year and the next year, all the staff that had been absent were rehired. Weird, huh? But, I was assured that 'theres no quota or additional funding, we have to allocate these funds out of our budget' when I had questioned them on it, contrary to state policies in regards to special needs education I happened to look up, post graduation.
You got a good pediatrician then. If parents would take accountability instead of jumping straight to an easy way out we would all be better off
What a great show. Only cartoon I could get my Dad to watch with me. It was great to see him watching it by hinself when I'd come home from school
Is he still alive?
My school nurse also diagnosed me with ADHD, after they told that to my parents they had me switch schools, and I thank them for that until this day
Hank willing to blindly accept this as why Bobby won’t listen to him is just so hilarious.
When he said you bastards he spoke for anyone with a kid with any mental divergence no matter how small or large. Setting them all aside in one group is a cruelly simple solution.
The music actually made the short better for once.
lol thank you, im glad you dig it
I got put on effexor in highschool, and it gave me debilitating brain zaps (turns out to be common) and I would roll-over screaming. Went off it a week later. The PhD that prescribed it met me ONCE, and I had trouble opening up about divorce issues. So he sent us home with an Rx for it. I'm 110% functional in my adulthood now, but I will never, for any reason, deal with a psychologist again.
Why would they put you on effexor before trying anything else first? And after one meeting? That's some heavy duty shit, it's what they put people with treatment-resistant depression on when the regular stuff stops working.
Jesus Christ, who gave that man a medical license? Sounds like he went into medicine because he wanted to be rich and doesn't care about people.
Psychologists don't prescribe. You're talking about a psychiatrist.
Public schools doling out ADD diagnoses like making it rain singles in a t!tty bar was a '90s childhood in a nutshell.
What is a school nurse "diagnosing" anyone? She may think he has ADHD, but IRL, she would be encouraging the parents to take him to a doctor. And it would likely be the teacher having a meeting with the parents rather than the nurse herself.
I love this show.
It was accurate with the time it was released. I remember a whole line to the nurses office for early productions of riddlin. And when it didn't "work" a doctor was encouraged to up me to Adderall. I didn't eat for weeks and my mom said fuck that and took me off.
@@nachodragon659 Yeah, they were basically saying every kid that was bored in math had adhd back then.
Don't look down on the nurse! She got the pamphlet.
@@nachodragon659 I'm not sure what you're referring to with "early productions of Ritalin" (methylphenidate) but a nurse cannot administer a prescribed medication without a prescription from a doctor (unless they are a nurse practitioner). If the nurse did such things that is illegal and malpractice. My younger brother had to go through extensive testing at hospitals and doctors offices before there was any prescribing. Yes, he got to the point that he refused to take it, because it made him a zombie and that was the end of it, but the school suggested during a parent/teacher conference that my parents consult with a doctor because they suspected it was medical. Maybe at some point doctors started giving it out like candy, but in the late 80s/early 90s, medicating a child with a stimulant was an extensive process and taken very seriously.
Because it's a cartoon.
The way he said "you bastard". It was like she just called him a slur.🤣
My school tried telling my dad I had ADD. He started laughing and told them he's seen me sit quietly and read a 1k page book from cover to cover in one sitting and that I didn't have ADD, they were just boring.
that actually can be a symptom of ADHD tho lol. it's called hyperfocus and is usually triggered by interesting, high-reward or urgent activities in part because of the way they engage your nervous system. ADHD means attention deficit hyperactive disorder, so a) your attention doesn't go where it "should" (obv this is very subjective) and you tend to hyperfocus on certain things and underfocus on most other things, and b) your nervous system is overactive, which usually manifests as physical hyperactivity, hyperfocus, racing/distracting thoughts, insomnia and/or difficulty relaxing. not saying you had ADHD lol but I do and I was that kid who was reading huge books until midnight but could not focus on a thing my teacher said in class, even when I tried to make myself listen. as an adult I still have to force myself to pay attention at work instead of my mind latching onto some random thing. meds help but my brain just does not automatically focus where it is supposed to and it takes a lot of willpower to wrangle it :') I always forgot my homework and my desk was a mess but i aced the tests lol... unfortunately, in adult life, most things are more "homework" than "tests" 😅
@@kelpo6304I also have ADHD and 100% agree with and relate to your comment! Reading was always a major hyperfocus for me!
Ironically I wasn't diagnosed until I was 30 yrs old, because they refused to consider it when I was a young teenager. That was the reality for girls especially in the early '00s. My dad has ADHD too and recognised the symptoms in me, and he tried to get someone to take it seriously enough to test me (to either diagnose or rule it out). But I very clearly remember being told that there was nothing wrong with me, I was just bored of my hometown and would be fine once I graduated and moved away...
I was not fine. I struggled so hard in college and dropped out. I've struggled with work and with maintaining friendships. I'm finally thriving now that I'm on medication! But all I ever wanted was someone to take me seriously enough to consider a diagnosis and give me tools to help me get over the barrier and finally live up to my potential.
Yes remember, not having ADHD is actually a symptom of having ADHD 😂 now buy more meds!
Hyper focus is a real symptom of ADHD...
@@kelpo6304 LOL No. I don't have hyper focus, whatever the hell that is. It's not like I felt compelled to sit there and read nonstop. I just was enjoying the book, had nothing else I had to do that day, and saw no reason to stop reading.

This boy is not correct

He does not meet up to my expectations.
Nobody noticed it before because he was in his persona THE GREAT CORNHOLIO!
I remember i got bullied in Middle School quite relentlessly, and my parents requested to see the Principal about the problem. He then proceeded to ask my parents if i had autism- just for being bullied, and despite the school having performed little-to-no action in punishing the kids that'd torment me.
Needless to say, my parents were livid that he'd make that assumption despite being merely a principal, with no medical qualifications whatsoever.
He asked that because that's how autistic children used to be recognized by adults. They'd let the other children single them out first.
They must have tore that peck a new one.
Once again Hank Hill the man of logic and reason. Those bastards indeed.
A wchool nurse doesn't have the authority to diagnose a condition like this, the best she'd be able to do is refer him to a doctor, who would have noticed he was having a sugar rush. But hey, it was the early 2000's, doping up middle school kids was all the rage
As was giving schools cutrate funding and stripping even that away if kids didn't pass their tests, so schools were basically incentivized to say kids had mental disorders when they couldn't pass. You get what you paid for, or rather, you got the schooling your government deigned to pay for.
there is a very good and legitimate reason why king-of-the-hill was a cultural phenomenon.
"You bastards."

Funny how schools think they know what's better for kids then their own parents. They wanna have equal say in a child's day-to-day life but believe it's the parent sole responsibility to pay any bills that may show up along the way.
The problem is the parent needs to take care of their kid. The school needs to manages ALL of your kids. And unlike a family that has 1 or 2 adults to handle maybe 1-6 kids, the school has maybe a couple dozen adults that needs to deal with 100s, sometimes 1000s of kids. And they need to do it with more restraints and less funding. If one kid is making things harder for two dozen other kids, and the school doesn't have the funding to deal with it because government funding has been dried up for decades, their main option is just to remove the kid and deal with one angry set of parents rather than do nothing and risk a dozen angry parents.
"I have notice the boys mind does wonder. Whenever i am lecturing him. A mental disorder would explain that." - Hank 😂😂🤣🤣
dont medicate adhd first, check into therapy and understanding, help the kid with adhd what's actually going on and why and how to handle it, the medicine often leads kids to meth, they get tolerant to it and so they self-medicate without even knowing why meth works like it does for them.
Welp thanks for that, I enjoy paranoia. Im on ADHD medication and now I fear im even more succeptible to getting hooked on drugs than I already was. (I have an addictive personality, especially when it comes to stimulants like Caffeine and such)
It gives citations for its claim or else it gets the hose again
@@synshenron798 it is good to find non-medical ways of addressing it without being medicated, and it is true that meth and ritalin are more or less the same drug, but if you don't abuse ritalin or seek out and buy meth, you should be fine. Your prescription should make abusing your medicine difficult, though it isn't uncommon.

I'm so glad that the medical profession, big pharma, and science have come a long way since then. I can't imagine what the world would be like if we put kids demonstrating unusual behaviors on life-changing medications today.
