The jigsaw story is interesting, but I'd lay odds there's more to it than that.

A lot of kids with an ADHD diagnosis actually have autism, which would likely be a closer fit.

I work with a lot of families with autism.

Just as an aside, the comment about not seeing adults throwing themselves on the floor, etc. What about the large number of violent offenders in prison??

Kids in school in our day had autism, or at least a form of it, but it wasn't recognised. They coped better at school because the rules were clear and understandable. Example: we all had a desk we had to sit at. Kids with autism like stability and predictability. Go to a school now and be told "Sit where you want" - and see the autistic kid try to sit where they sat last time but someone else got there first...and watch things go wrong.
