Fred Baughman is a medical expert for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a front group for Scientology. The site www.adhdfraud.com can most likely be considered a front for the front group CCHR.
The ridiculous sound-bites on the front page ("ADHD--total, 100% Fraud"?) immediately rang a bell with me, and the "commentary" page reeked of the irrational garbage typically spewed forth by the Co$/CCHR.
The connection is made clearly edvient from this page, where Dr Baughman recommends the CCHR.
The poster is most likely either a Scientology shill (hello OSA!), or a common troll.
For more information on Scientology, see Operation Clambake, or for it's constant (and irrational and paranoid) war on the mental health profession, see for instance here.
Now, I won't say you shouldn't trust Dr. Fred as your doctor, but please, just be aware of his connection to a dangerous mind-control cult. And remember to always take all input with a huge glacier of salt, this post included.

A quick google of "Fred Baughman" revealed a page at the CCHR's site by Dr. Fred, and a PBS interview from May 4, 2000. Nothing wrong with any of that, but why doesn't he disclose his affiliations on the front page?
