Honestly there are lots of reason's

One is that people are starting to recognize it more.

Another is that people are realizing that its okay to ask for help!
Is my opinion. And that as a child if you don't get the help you
need you can't succeed in our world today.

Many children in the past, didn't always get the help they needed.
So they had more problems as adults. I personally feel.

And at times, we still find that we are more ashamed as adults
to admit we have problems.

I know my kids, I'm personally more wanting to find the help
they need. Because I got help. But one of the main reason's
I was helped, was because mine was medical.

But I also always felt worthless, because kids teased me
all the time. Because I was different.

So now I don't want any kid to go through that. And lots
of parents don't either.

And ADHD, is technically overdiagnosed at times. And in
my opinion sometimes Autism can go either way. It can
be truely diagnosed or it can be because they aren't sure its
behavioral so they say autism. It really sometimes bugs
me that they tag so many kids with Autism.
