I am not sure what your point is. Mine is precisely that there is no clear definition nor diagnostic criteria for ADHD, and that merely having more than an average collection of these otherwise ordinary behaviors, does not automatically constitute a new neurological disorder.

>Also your example is kinda dumb! You don't have to have Alzheimers to be forgetful, it's actually quite common. But if you post "anyone else here keep forgetting things?" on r/Alzheimers obviously people on there are going to be like "yeah me too".

What I was trying to demonstrate is that people DO have the belief that ADHD is a causative thing in itself, and not merely a name for a collection of symptoms used to make treatment easier, as was suggested is the case.
