I'm dismayed by a new news story going around the interwebs about adult ADHD. A typical headline: "Adults with ADHD: 1 in 4 may be faking it." The problem with scandalous headlines like these is they (perhaps inadvertently) convey the larger message that adult ADHD does not exist and anyone who claims to have it is just "faking" in order to improve their cognitive performance or get high. The idea that ADHD is a disorder with no valid basis to begin with, invented by pharmaceutical companies to make money and overstretched schools to keep kids submissive, is unfortunately extremely common, and this story only adds fuel to the fire.
