[quote=Anonymous]I am an undiagnosed ADHD adult with one diagnosed ADHD kid and one undiagnosed (in denial) ADHD kid. The one with the diagnosis got it when we were trying to address anxiety, not find a “cheat”. It was very frustrating to not understand why my clearly brilliant child was not succeeding in school or social environments. Knowing that your brain works differently is actually life changing as compared to years of frustration and misunderstanding. Maybe the societal problem is not over diagnosis, it is that our educational system is set up to help a certain kind of kid succeed and the kids that do not fit that mold are either deemed smart but lazy when they fail or gaming the system for seeking out equalizing treatment - meaning accommodations - when they succeed.
