My kid has ADHD, my husband has ADHD, and his family on the paternal side are all diagnosed or just act like they have ADHD. Family events are interesting.

Yuge overdiagnosis.

I couldn’t believe in a diagnosis that some assign to double digit numbers of the population.

These are only barely in the double digits… there are doctors who say ADHD affects 50% of the population and the probability that someone’s whole kin is affected is absurd. That’s overdiagnosis.
