Children with ADHD. Real or bad parenting?

My mum works at my old high school. Since i left they built a new block for students who require extra help for ADHD Aspergers and Autism. 20% of all pupils have to go there.
We all had kids in our class who couldn't listen or behave but this isn't ADHD it's bad kids usually from bad parenting.
It definitely exists though. My eldest brother is a right plank. Zero GCSE's as he literally couldn't focus on anything but an Atari/Spectrum/Game boy for more than 10 minutes. He'd even leave half his dinner because he was bored eating it. Still the same in his thirties and will go weeks without showering because its boring.
Doctors and teachers like to diagnose very quickly as it helps the school and the parents financially.Comment

She believes ADHD (when diagnosed correctly) is a real issue and I trust in her judgement 110%."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

He misses 3/4 of his playtimes each week, always on the naughty chart & this morning watched him mess up his judo exam, scoring a lowly score, not even filling in answers, when I've spent two weeks prepping him with games & play scoring full marks every time.
The lack of control, concentration & impulsiveness is seriously going to hamper his academic development and self worth.
Still think it's a combination of real(medicine/diet) / parenting, trick is to work out how to balance the two.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

How old is he? Tried talking to him about it? Does exercise help?Comment
