ADHD may be overdiagnosed because medication creates financial incentives for diagnosis.
“I would worry that it's over diagnosed because there's medication for it. So what's nice about autism is there's no, like, big pharma money that you can follow to go, well, they would be motivated to diagnose lots of people with autism because then they could sell these drugs or whatever, whereas with ADHD they are motivated to diagnose lots of people with ADHD because there is medication for it.”
