And you deserve to be. As someone who has raging ADHD I am sick to the back teeth of knee-jerk contrarians venting their feels while making no effort to contribute anything of substance.
As someone who was flagged with ADHD and shoved on Ritalin for 5 years, I'm sick to my back teeth with doctors just throwing around diagnosis's willy nilly.
Being concerned about overdiagnosis is perfectly valid, but you should take the time to say that. I'm sorry about your bad experience, but your flip comments contribute to my ongoing bad experience. Please consider the different contexts in which your statements might be interpreted when you're discussing this subject.
This is a tough topic and a lot of people make very broad generalizations that end up being very disingenuous to people who have ADHD. At the same time 15% of male children have been told they have ADHD while scientists estimate it's more like 3%. On one hand you have the camp that says more kids need treatment, on the other hand people think no one needs it. Just like everything in this polarizing world we need stop joining camps and focus on people who are suffering.
