A diagnosis counts as a diagnosis. ADHD worth any concern is easily identified and diagnosed. If it is hard to determine, it's very likely one (or some) of the countless other things that cause the same symptoms and are more often fixable, but can cause harm/damage if ignored. It is quite simply a numbers game and of all the things causing symptoms like foggy short-term memory, attention drain, daily fatigue, etc, ADHD as the cause would definitely be a single digit percentile. This makes it a concern that people—ironically as someone else put it—gloss over their problems with alignment to memes/post as conviction over professional diagnosis. It also makes things more difficult for the community and those within that do indeed have ADHD.
Again, I'm not saying this is the case, but the remarkable uptick in ADHD's trend lately is certainly making me consider that people are neglecting their health or are indirectly encouraging others to. If I see a meme about ADHD being the LOL cause of needing to sneeze, I'm calling it.
