looking for someone who relates.

can anyone my age range relate, im 40 yr old male i was born march 2nd 1968,

i was reading about how todays kids are just out of control . back in the 1970's when i was about 9 yrs old i was placed into a state hospital for 4 yrs  and was diagnosed with what they call today adhd. i was running away from home, getting into all kinds of trouble ,pretty much just being an out of control kid ,back then in public schools you got paddled and then had to sign your name on it, i know today you cant do that or even be placed into a childrens unit at a state hospital unless the kid killed someone.but as i reflect back to when i was about 10 yrs old i did something that pissed one of the doctors off and off i went to be strapped into a bed and held by nurses who kept telling me everything will be fine soon, then it happened! a huge electric shock i felt all over my head and was told this is what happens when kids need to be controled. this probably dont mean much to someone but i thought i need to share this very private thing that happened to me so many years ago.but i just wanted to know if someone my age remembers when judges placed us with add or adhd into stae hospitals, or even got paddled at our school and singed our name into the paddle..

sorry if i just bored someone just need to get this out i guess,,
