Is my perception off or are there a lot more kids with legitimately diagnosable
issues like ADD, ADHD, and Autism? I really do believe there are a lot of kids that deal with those issues.

Are they overdiagnosed? Probably. But not by anywhere near the amount I used to think. And I think it really is a good thing for many to have their condition understood and treated to the extent possible.

Our screen driven society may have something to do with it. But that doesn’t explain everything.

Or am I just mistaken and the numbers aren’t going up?

By the way I don’t want this thread to go into the anti-vax territory. I don’t believe vaccines are causing an uptick in any statistically meaningful way. If you want to take things that direction, please create a child thread.
