As someone who grew up in the UK and emigrated to the US then got an ADHD diagnosis in my late 30s, and seeing how my friends’ kids in the US and UK differ in support, it is because in the UK you are just considered an absent-minded student who should apply themselves better, but in the US there’s a whole (albeit profit-motivated) network of resources. It wasn’t even raised when I was a kid in the UK I may have ADHD, and I wish it had been.
