ou colérique? Comme des milliers d'autres jeunes, il pourrait recevoir un diagnostic de trouble déficitaire de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH) et se voir prescrire un psychostimulant tel le Ritalin. Mais ces comportements sont-ils nécessairement les symptômes d'une "maladie" appelée TDAH? Quelle est la validité de ces diagnostics quand on sait que plus de la moitié d'entre eux sont ultérieurement retirés par un centre spécialisé? Poursuivant son travail sur le pouvoir d'influence de l'industrie pharmaceutique, J.-Claude St-Onge se penche cette fois-ci sur le phénomène du TDAH, qui a littéralement explosé depuis une trentaine d'années. Or, il s'agit d'un diagnostic hautement controversé: les critères pour l'identifier manquent de scientificité et il n'existe aucune preuve que ces symptômes soient le résultat d'un déséquilibre chimique du cerveau. Quant aux médicaments, à long terme, ils ne font aucune différence sur les résultats scolaires et les comportements des enfants. Pire, ils peuvent même aggraver leurs symptômes.

of the autism revolution. Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science to behaviour, even sharing her own brain scan to show us which anomalies might explain common symptoms. We meet the scientists and self-advocates who are exploring innovative theories of what causes autism and how we can diagnose and best treat it. Grandin also highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the transformative effects we can have by treating autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting, she argues that raising and educating kids on the spectrum isn't just a matter of focusing on their weaknesses; in the science that reveals their long-overlooked strengths she shows us new ways to foster their unique contributions. 2013.The back doctor: lifetime relief for your aching back
