Excellent post. I published a piece about the BBC’s investigation earlier today. It’s tantamount to journalistic malpractice and everyone involved should feel ashamed.

I read the article on it and it irritated me so much. I'm lucky I am in the US and it is relatively easy to get diagnosed assuming you have insurance. But I went to someone who said he assumed you didn't and went from there. So it wasn't a guy passing out diagnoses willy nilly.

That said as a woman that wasn't diagnosed until she was in her mid to late thirties and knows that women are so under diagnosed I hate the stereotype that it is fad.

Yes if you weren't diagnosing many young girls for decades and suddenly the public is more aware of what it is there is going to be a surge in diagnoses.
