[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of this may have to do with the spectrum being so large, and the need to use the diagnosis to force insurance companies and schools systems to pay for the extra support these kids need (ex. therapy, additional support in classrooms). [/quote] But, there is also a wide range of normal, or at least there used to be. Now, it seems that normal range is getting smaller and smaller, and any "quirk" or what could be just immaturity is being diagnosed as ADHD or other things.[/quote]
