> Well except for the diagnosis. So much the same way a cancer patient doesn't have a reason to claim they have cancer and someone else doesn't?

Are cancer patients diagnosed via multiple choice questionnaires?? Please tell me more about the rigorous testing process for ADHD diagnosis.

ADHD diagnosis is nothing like a cancer diagnosis. I can’t tell if you’re trolling.

Edit: My bad this is pretty low level bait looking back

Shockingly, the processes for diagnosing different types of health problems are... different.

I think you forgot to tell me more about the rigorous ADHD testing process. What were your tests like? Did it take 10 mins on an iPad in office? Or did you just do it online?

I'm not entirely sure why I would spend time defending the established diagnostic criteria for ADHD from you. Are you someone who establishes those criteria?
