I went to the Kings College website, they don't have the 2008 report available on the website yet. Have you seen the report or are you simply using the Yahoo news report that you’ve linked to?

I had to do a lot of make-believe stuff to keep busy, and now I think I'm a much more creative person because of it. This is a coo' article, really in depth, and gives me a lot to think about. Poor kids, with their ADHD. Maybe the researchers were born in the 70’s, and needed to feel good about themselves :P
