A lot of people aren’t even comfortable with the label ADHD. I hear from parents who hesitate to get their kids diagnosed because they’re afraid of their child being limited by labels. There is an understandable fear there. To those parents, I gently say: your child already has labels. Teachers, peers, and family all apply labels to your child as an attempt to explain behaviors they don’t understand. Labels such as lazy, messy, spacey, and irresponsible are more stigmatizing, more shame inducing, less accurate, and much, much less helpful than any diagnostic term will be.
