Don't forget about the chance of misdiagnosis as ADD/ADHD when the child is actually intellectually gifted/talented. The list of characteristics for each has a lot of overlap. Also, sorry I don't have a better link than that - most of my knowledge comes from books like Webb's on Misdiagnosis & dual diagnoses.

> I think it's difficult for anyone to argue that Lutus' position holds any weight.

This reminds me of the many arguments I heard five years ago when I claimed that Asperger's was being way overused by clinicians and was producing an epidemic of misdiagnoses. How could I be so ignorant and irresponsible to say such a thing in a public forum? What about all those suffering people who needed Asperger's therapy, that I was cheating out of treatment?

Then two things happened -- this book "Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults: ADHD, Bipolar, Ocd, Asperger's, Depression, and Other Disorders" and this outcome, in which Allen Frances (editor of DSM-IV) makes the same arguments I made five years ago, as he works to keep Asperger's out of DSM-V.

How difficult is that?
