@freezenet Or maybe, there is greater awareness of these things than there were in the past (I'm commenting on them, not your piece).

"The fact that there is no fixed cut-off or threshold for the diagnosis means that ADHD is not a categorical yes/no diagnosis. It is a matter of degree. Someone whose difficulties with EF cause significant impairment in several aspects of day-to-day functioning might meet the criteria to be diagnosed with ADHD. The diagnosis is an inexact process based on a clinical impression–not something determined by objective “testing” or measurement.

It is also unavoidably influenced by the sociocultural context in which the individual is expected to function. Modern developed countries require people to have the ability to sustain high levels of focus, organization, time management, and planning, for successful functioning in many types of activities. These requirements have been steadily increasing as societies have become increasingly complex, specialized, and productive."
