People who think ADHD isn't real, why?

I was diagnosed with it at age 7, 22 years ago. Back then it was kind of a rare thing...

As I grew up, I watched it become a way that parents could give something to their child to get them to clam down/sit in a corner.

I had friends that literally were prescribed Ritalin for ADD and not given it when going to school... Their parents would instead save it up for the weekends to they could give them 5 time the normal amount, to which they would just be a zombie in a corner, drugged out. The parents justified this as it made him "easier to watch"... Never was about trying to get him to pay better attention to anything.

To each their own, but it just is a very easy system for parents to abuse, and its really kinda fucked as kids just wanna be kids, and normally dont have say in the matter. I remember my friend refusing to take the large doses of the drug, and his step dad would whip him with the belt till he did...

Diagnosed with it very young. I'm just really hyper because I always do stuff outdoors instead of playing video games. I didn't like taking Adderall because it fucked my stomach and I couldn't eat anything.

Adderall is fine and dandy, but I don't really need it to get shit done or focus properly like my doctor thinks. If I need to get shit done, I just gotta take 5 minutes to lock myself onto that 1 thing.

Growing up in school where every other kid had adhd, I feel like it's a really gray thing. It may or may not be a thing but I felt like it's mostly misdiagnosis of bullcrap

I don't think it's that people do not believe it's real...

The problem is that every kid who doesn't act like a zombie playing video games all day gets hauled in to their pediatrician to be medicated.

I used to work at a pharmacy in a small town and the number of children on ADHD meds was absurd.

Growing up, I only remember 1 kid taking Ritalin and he absolutely needed it to function normally.

Less than 20 years later, I coached little league and 8 out of the 12 players were on Adderall.

And I don't even want to get started on college students...

This is a weird post for r/AskReddit

I don't know anything about this, but I think it's a vague term for a multitude of minute problems.
