Thats the problem. You could not understand why anyone would not know what ADHD meant.
Lack of understanding maybe?

Before this topic goes any further off-topic I would just like to say that nobody can know everything, so why Freelance thought that everyone knows what ADHD is I fail to understand.   Does FL know what DAVF is without looking it up?  A condition of which I am fully familiar with, and of which one of its rare variations has affected my life for over twelve years.      I was not familiar with the term ADHD before it was raised on here.  Why should I have been, I don't profess to know everything?

Responses to my question should start a new topic 'What is DAVF?'

No i hadnt come across DAVF until I ave now looked it up

In answer to Frankie ADD ( Attention Deficient Disorder) is the same as ADHD but as it became more readily diagnosed they added the title Hyperactivity into it

I think you also have to take into account that not only parents but schools get extra payment for having children with this condition so it pays everyone except the poor child who not only has a lable for life but is put onto brain changing very nasty medication

1 in 10 US kids has ADHD, study finds
Increase in diagnoses due to more awareness, rise of cases in minority and poor children.

Nearly one in 10 children in the United States is being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to a new government study.

That’s an increase of more than 2 percent in ADHD diagnoses compared to a decade ago, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported today.
The new findings don’t necessarily mean that more kids are developing ADHD, said the study’s lead author Dr. Lara Akinbami, a medical officer at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.
“This change is reflected in numerous national data sets,” Akinbami explained. “It’s robust and real. But we can’t say whether it’s a true increase in prevalence or just better detection.”
