It's not just related to tiktok, but there definitely was a strong fetisisation of ADHD going on which seemed to peak in 2020-2021 (but still there).

  20 years ago, when my step kids were young, people also said ADHD and Autism was a "fad" and "overdiagnosed". People have been talking like this since at least the 90's and always claiming it's a new, recent, thing.

    Heck, my sister was diagnosed (and I wish I had been diagnosed) in the 80's. Plus, before it got the name ADD (and after, ADHD), it was studied by the names "Hyperactive child syndrome", "Hyperkinetic reaction of childhood", and a few others. This has been recognized and studied for over a century.
