> ADHD is kind of interesting because I think it's significantly under- and over-diagnosed. I thought this was one of the better comments regarding the diagnosis of A.D.D. Why? I was diagnosed late, so I was missed – and yet, I cannot ignore the obvious over-diagnosis of A.D.D. It seems if you're hyper, you have attention deficits. For me, I was never hyper so I completely missed the radar. That's also why I feel that there is an over-diagnosis – and why people feel that it isn't a legitimate diagnosis. I was diagnosed with a less-noticed blend of A.D.D., more commonly known as ADHD-PI or "predominately inattentive". I actually could sit still, I didn't move around all the time. But the slight movement of a foot in a classroom would completely take me away from any focus. Most people can say that they have those experiences, but these people can also get into extreme focus later on for other things they actually love to do. That's the marker, for me, as a diagnosis.
