Malibukitten Review of Attention Please

Attention Please (2018)

What garbage. Watch The Disrupters instead *spoilers*

[11 March 2023]

I tried to watch this, but I was obsessed with why NO ONE NOTICED the typo of PSYCHOACTIVE (in the film, spelled PYSCHOACTIVE). I'm sorry, but HOW MANY PEOPLE were involved with this project and NOT ONE saw the typo? And why people should take their advice when they can't even catch a glaringly obvious mistake? From what I actually saw, and the reviews here confirm it, these people are saying that diet, exercise, schedules, etc will help your child succeed WITHOUT any rx, NOPE. Fact: I was eating healthy, worked out daily and took kickboxing 3x a week, took my vitamins....but I STILL was "spacy", "lazy", forgetful, tired, caffeine didn't work, etc. I just thought that this is how I was made. When I found out I had ADHD so late in life, I was relieved that I knew why I was like that. But then, I was v depressed because I realized that because of this condition, my life was HARDER than a 'normal' brained person. If you think your child has ADHD, don't deny them a "kind of normal" life with medication. It's a chemical imbalance in their brain, would you deny a diabetic insulin? Deny a poor sighted person glasses? No. And not all ADHD medication is a stimulant (not that there's ANYTHING wrong with a stimulant, it's how I can function instead of not doing simple things like laundry, grocery shopping, school pickups, etc.), some build up in your system and help with anxiety. Either way, if your child needs help and that means meds, HELP THEM. ALSO, look into PANDAS, it's a disorder that happens after a child gets the strep virus and causes a chemical change in their brain, totally related to ADHD..
