[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In many ways, it's like other things kids are diagnosed with. Many moons ago, boys who were fidgety were boys, now they are ADD, ADHD, etc. Some actually have it but as a society, we have to put a label on why you act a certain way. Growing up, I didn't know any kids who were autistic and now, we know several. What used to be a kid being a little different or not liking certain things now has a medical diagnosis.[/quote] Yes and no. Fidgety boys are indeed more "diagnosable" these days. But sleep deprivation is more common these days, with more households where both parents work long hours, increased screen time, etc. And sleep deprivation leads to ADHD symptoms: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/opinion/sunday/diagnosing-the-wrong-deficit.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 There IS research on a lot of these "mysterious" topics we're opining on here. Research is your friend.[/quote]
