ADHD is not a condition its a pattern of behaviour with several factors. Firstly look at entertainment for children now, TikTok and other platforms are almost designed to melt away attention span and children&#39;s TV programming too is barely coherent now. <br>Some unconfirmed studies link Early Childhood Vaccines or Vitamin Deficiency to ADHD too. <br>A big factor is school is not a natural enviroment for children. In school children are forced to sit still and concerntrate on Academia when a large portion of them (mostly boys) just want to run around in the sun!

The wait list is absurd by sounds of it.

Being logical. It is no surprise that a large percentage of our society have little in the way of an attention span. When we are mistakenly taught as children to allow our minds to wander aimlessly, and let our imagination run wild. Two things that are hardly condusive to having a long attention span (having a still/quiet mind). Best wishes 🙏

&quot;If you answered yes to these 5 questions you might be autistic&quot;......this here is the problem, Tiktok autistic, this is why people who need the real help aren&#39;t taken serious because people who feel a bit shy or anxious don&#39;t want to get a job. They mess it up for the people who really need help.<br>Also the people spitting out a baby every other year hoping to get disibility benefits they do it as a career.

I don’t buy this for a second. It’s really not in a psychiatrist’s best interest to diagnose people for no reason. I think that Methylphenidate is a very expensive medication, testing is very expensive, so the NHS is trying to save a few hundred thousand by ignoring this issue. That’s what the system does when the population has increased by one million people since 2022.

Some will hate this!! If it&#39;s a case of labelling before proper investigation then I agree. <br>I&#39;ve met too many that are given the ADHD and autism label when quite honestly it&#39;s a case of being over hyper &amp; parents not knowing how to say Stop or control their kid&#39;s actions. They&#39;ll exaggerate their kids behaviour to get a label, help with claims &amp; as an excuse.<br>Then in later life young adults, even some now graduates, for which the colleges &amp; universities bend over backwards to help in exams because they want the good score! Young adults who have led their parents &amp; the benefits up the garden path because they want the easier life &amp; know how to play the system, even with family! <br>More scrutinising would benefit to eliminate those who take advantage. In the long run this would help give more time &amp; financial help to those who genuinely do need it. <br>Example: Not the many labelled, who claim PIP &amp; free taxi rides because they don&#39;t like the bus to school, it scares them, unless of course it&#39;s to go out with mates! <br>Call me wrong but I&#39;ve experienced things &amp; sometimes you really do have to question it all.

It is 100% over diagnosed. Teens and young adults wish and hope they get diagnosed because they think it&#39;ll be a neat replacement for a personality, or it provides a reason for their underachievement. Parents are desperate to get their iPad kids diagnosed because it offers an excuse for poor parenting. Meanwhile, there are people out there who deeply struggle with Autism or ADHD, or whose kids do, and should rightfully be getting more money which is lessened due to people who have no where near the same struggles.

The headline is totally inaccurate to the findings of the report imo, classic BBC. Some key quotes from the actual reporting:
<br>
<br>&quot;A &quot;very real substantial rise in mental ill-health&quot;, particularly among young people - it increased by 50% between 1993 and the present day&quot;
<br><br>and
<br><br>&quot;Fonagy, a clinical psychologist and adviser to NHS England, told the BBC last month the review &quot;dismisses the idea of a snowflake generation&quot; and insisted &quot;it&#39;s harder to be young now&quot;. He&#39;ll be speaking to Radio 4&#39;s Today programme from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCS5PmhZvkI&amp;t=470">07:50</a> BST.&quot;
<br>
<br>and
<br>
<br>&quot;He starts by saying that former Health Secretary Wes Streeting - who first commissioned the review - was &quot;with respect, completely wrong&quot; when he talked about an over-diagnosis of mental health disorders.&quot;
<br>
<br>&quot;His findings show that &quot;there has been a rise in distress and mental ill health amongst young people which is very, very real,&quot; he says, noting that one in five cases require treatment.&quot;

Nobody chooses to have Autism or ADHD unlike what the &quot;mild anxiety&quot; for &quot;benefits&quot; crowd state. It is like telling a paraplegic person to &quot;stop being lazy, get up and walk&quot;. Can you see how offensive that is?<br><br>I was late diagnosed with Autism at 42. Nursery school teachers suggested a diagnosis for me when I was about 5 but never happened due to stigma - the fear of being put into a &quot;special school&quot;, being written off for life and so forth. I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years so I&#39;m not a &quot;benefit scrounger&quot; wanting to &quot;leech off the hard working taxpayer&quot;. I got no post-diagnosis support other than &quot;here&#39;s a list of YouTube and charity links. You&#39;re now on your own. Good luck&quot;. There is no medication. I get no disability passes or cards because I&#39;m &quot;not disabled enough&quot;.<br><br>Autism is a neurodevelopmental disability that is genetic and impairs social skills and communication. The most important thing for life and dating success. Scientific papers have shown that men with Autism have the worst outcomes of any demographic in society for life and dating success. They&#39;re far more likely to be long term single, NEETs, unemployed/underemployed and struggle in other aspects of life. People take social adeptness for granted in the same way they take having limbs for granted.

Every time I see autism and ADHD “influencers” online, mingling in the crowds, travelling the world, enjoying attention and oh, so happy to finally have an excuse why they are so different and can’t “grow up” - I think of thousands of parents of severely autistic children who often can’t ever be independent, and who wonder why everybody around is suddenly calling themselves autistic just because they don’t like social interactions or they can’t keep a job. I mean - it’s all very well to be different and people’s needs should be accommodated to an extent, but how do you get anything done in the world where everybody is calling themselves special and demands special treatment ?

ADHD tends to be detected and medicated better. Autism spectrum disorder part is more prevalent due to understanding but it needs its levels assigned for complex to low level. It’s important to understand your ASD even if level 1 but it doesn’t need the complex assistance of level 3
