[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is this. Why does it matter? [/quote]

Why does it matter if people are being incorrectly diagnosed for a disorder and prescribed stimulant medication which, oh by the way, is tightly controlled and often in short supply? Why does it matter that a group of high functioning adults are suddenly using ADHD as an excuse for thing like "being rude" or "not wanting to do things no one wants to do"? Why does it matter that people who don't have ADHD are trying to make themselves the poster children for a real disorder that can be debilitating for the kids and adults who actually have it and have struggled with it their entire lives?

Hmmm, I can think of reasons it matters.[/quote]
None of this is happening. I’m sorry for whatever you’re going through, but you’re not some hero defending people with “real” ADHD and you don’t get to say who has it and who does it unless you’re a clinician and they are your patient. Mind your own damn business.[/quote]
