In this first of many Commentaries I will be providing to my viewers, I address the concept of neurodiversity or neurodivergence in the lay media and the problems inherent in the strong or extreme form of this view that claims there is no reason to diagnose or treat ADHD as a disorder when it is just part of typical human variation. One can acknowledge that ADHD represents the extreme end of a typical distribution of a psychological trait while at the same time acknowledging that those at the extreme lower end of this trait experience harm and impairment. It is therefore reasonable to offer them a diagnosis that grants them access to treatments, services, entitlements, and protections that, absent the diagnosis, they would not receive.
