He’s a family practice physician (not psychiatrist or researcher) who likes to write books and speak authoritatively on platforms like Joe Rogan about ADHD (amongst other things). His whole thing is to deny genetic factors and blame children for being too sensitive and parents for not parenting right.
I do not agree with Maté on many of his conclusions nor particularly enjoy his writing, you are misrepresenting his arguments and misinforming people.
He has quite a range of topics he has addressed, and while his fairly recent take on ADHD is unscientific, it’s not representative of his other writings.
Rather than an inherited disease, Attention Deficit Disorder is a reversible impairment and a developmental delay, with origins in infancy. It is rooted in multigenerational family stress and in disturbed social conditions in a stressed society. In Scattered Minds, Dr. Maté offers a completely new perspective on this disorder, providing hope for adults with ADD, and parents seeking to support their children.
That’s odd. I read most of The Myth of Normal and did not get anything like what you’re saying from it. In fact, Mate mostly blamed “the system” for keeping people traumatized. I would have stopped reading immediately if he’d said anything like “children are too sensitive.” Are you sure this Barkley isn’t mischaracterizing Mate? Did Mate later change his stance about everything? Based on his book, I can’t imagine why he would ever say the things you describe.

“…his whole thing is …”
Just that. There’s more to his body of work than this glitch you’re reducing him to.
he’s reducing himself to that glitch. as i said in my other comment it’s the centerpiece of his own website’s ADHD page.
lol awesome. Sounds like a complete imbecile. I expect him to be nominated for an administrative position in HHS in the next few months. 🫠
