@RickiTarr Purposefully dodging the question -- I think it's legitimate -- about gender-based diagnoses, I want to come at it from a slightly different angle.

ADHD is dramatically over-diagnosed. Not because the symptom isn't present, but because the symptom is regarded as a stopping point.

It's an "oh *THIS* is the problem!".

It's a "LET"S MEDICATE!!!"

In fact, ADHD is generally not a root cause. It's mostly a symptom.

We hammer kids w/speed, cuz it's easier than taking care of them.
