No, there are far more ADHD's than lead pencils eaten or in total. By the way did you know that there is no (toxic) Lead in pencils anyway? And still, why should ADHD's eat pencils??

Does sucking on a lead pencil give you lead poisoning?
Actually, the "lead" of a pencil is not lead at all. It is actually graphite. If it were lead, you would get very sick and die from lead poisoning...and as tasty as that pencil tip may look, it probably wont taste good and you really shouldn't eat it. Nonetheless, the graphite probably wont hurt too bad even if you decide to eat it.
Can a dog eat lead that is for a lead pencil?
I wouldn't suggest just letting your dog chew on a pencil, but I don't think it will kill them. My dog has chewed on several pencils (without me knowing until finding the evidence) and so far nothing has happened to her. She was still the same as far as hyper activity and she didn't vomit or have diarrhea. But, with that, all dogs are different just as people are different and one dog might react to something differently than another.
How long it takes for pencil led to kill you?
Pencil lead is graphite. No lead is actually in pencils. If it is stabbed through your eye, it will kill you instantly. If you heat it to 4200 celcius, it will turn to carbon vapor, which when cooled, will become carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, killing you In a few minutes. If shot at a micron/sec under the speed of light, it will destroy your planet. If you breath gigatonic amounts of it, you might get lung cancer in a few decades. If you eat it, it will not digest, but that is it.

Is graphite dangerous?
You're probably thinking of lead. Lead was found poisoness long ago, and was removed from pencils and gasoline. We use graphite in pencils today, which is safe, non-toxic.
