   Well, I think the issue here is "credible". That's going to be a tough one since many of these opponents don't have the medical or psychiatric background to make an objective assesment. But here's an interview with Fred Baughman (though he's also associated with Scientology).

   Good Luck!

   ADD and ADHD exist. Period. You cannot refute gravity anymore than you can refute the existence of ADD. The treatment methods however are very questionable.
   Drugs are for recreation, mmkay?
   Nothing wrong with being ADD, ADHD, our schooling systems just don't fit their learning abilities.
   They learn different.
   Some people are visual learners, some are tactile learners, some are auditory learners, different learning types for different thinking types.
   You are taught that you can only write with 1 hand. That's bullshit too, anyone can learn to write with both hands it just takes practice. I am willing to bet that most people write better with their second hand than I with my first.

   Check out Dr. Doreen Virtue. She has a spirtual way of understanding kids with ADD and ADHD. With diet, meditation, and looking at these kids through a different light. The best one I have read of hers is I think called The care of Indigo Children.
