MODERATORS
Who would have thought that if you go out and actively look for stuff you might actually find it.
But review is good I guess. Is it being over diagnosed, or do we really have to rethink stuff because there are loads of people struggling in the construct we have created because they are not neurotypical.
My guess is ADHD is more common than we thought and it needs to get more attention by not only diagnosing and medicating where needed, it also requires other systemic changes to accommodate for ADHD.
Like dyslexia.. on my youth people where just considered slow or stupid.. turns out they had a condition out of their control.
Tbf, being slow or stupid is usually also out of your control.
Fair enough, I was just referencing how they then talked about people with A low IQ.
