This quiz is taken from Mr. Michael Corrigan’s article “The ADHD Diagnosis is a War of Semantics, Waged on Children” (full information on this source, and a downloadable version of the article is available at the bottom of this post)
There are 18 childish behaviours, referred to by “pro-ADHD” experts as “ symptoms”, used to diagnose ADHD in our children. In an attempt to help you understand why ADHD is so prevalent, and getting more and more prevalent by the day, I am going to take you through the two symptom checklists. I think once you have finished you will be shocked, perhaps disgusted, but you will understand that a diagnosis of ADHD is easy to make in nearly, if not all, children with a pulse and appropriate level of immaturity.
Under today’s standards, if a person is younger than 17 years of age they need to display, or experience, six or more of the nine symptoms, in one of the categories, to be diagnosed ADHD. Those 17 years or older only need five.
However, the DSM-5 does explain a child or adult displaying only one or two of the “symptoms” required can still be labelled ADHD, only this would be diagnosed as “ADHD Not Otherwise Specified"
Further still, if the person does not display “any” of the required symptoms, but the assessing clinician “feels” the patient is ADHD, that person can still receive the diagnosis under the label of “ADHD Unspecified”.
