Thank you. A part of me still thinks that a lazy, undisciplined is quite likely to answer affirmatively to some of the ADHD questions. Like, reluctance to start tasks that require sustained mental effort, anyone?Oh, for goodness sakes! Of course many of us think (and say) this. Stop being so coy. No shame here, son.
It is actually very, very reasonable to assume this/these fact vs the other. In fact, many, many people are indeed lazy. Only some of those lazy people will have an actual psychiatric disorder. If we have to rely on a cognitive heuristic ….. I would bet on "lazy" vs "psychiatrically disordered" anytime.
Further, is it statistically probable that 30% of your peds Medicaid population have the same (neurodevelopment) psychiatric disorder that is about estimated to be about 3-5% of the general population per extensive DSM survey research? If you believe that? Or maybe ****ty parents = ****ty behaving kids? I mean, come on folks?
