I think OP was more about the trend of self diagnosed people acting like they were really diagnosed people while we all know that self diagnoses aren’t worth anything.

I too do oppose this trend since it fuels the “ADHD is a made up dad that parents make up so they don’t have to take responsibility for just not disciplining their child enough” crowd that just will not die out and harms diagnosed ADHD patients like myself.

Thanks, that was a really interesting read, and illuminating as well!
