For once, I’m not bringing this for the argument per se, for the viewpoint, but for the way rational discussion, judging by comments, is virtually impossible.
Not so much a minefield but a timebomb

On the young scot video comments its always the “practitioners” who jump in to choke off discussion. Nothing to do with feeling as their income is built on a shaky foundation is it. Oh no.
My wife works in a school as a dinnertime supervisor and on Friday a year four hit her. She waa helping a year four girl who had been hit in the head by a plastic water jug used in a “mud kitchen” thrown by a year four boy.
The boy who hit my wife ran across the playground to get in the face of both her and the girl because “he’s my mate”
Even the year six kids about to start playing football were shocked at this behaviour with genuine concern for my wife being offered by quite a few. A single teaching assistant who witnessed it all asked how she was.
Someone sent for a teacher and a deputy head appeared to try and coax the boy who threw the jug out from under the “mud kitchen”. Took her and a teaching assistant fifteen minutes to get him out and inside school.
The head also came out shortly after and took the boy who hit my wife into school.
Neither of these supposed leaders asked my wife what had happened nor asked how she was.
Pathetic weak women in a primary and infant school with only two male members of staff and one of them has Friday off!
Anybody want to guess what the two boys have been “diagnosed” with?
No ADHD does not exist. Appalling behaviour with no boundaries or consequences at home or anywhere else is the on the ground reality.
