Why can't we rename ADHD? This is why.

Russell Barkley has put together a brief discussion on his YouTube channel as to why we can't just rename ADHD.

tl;dr: ADHD is mentioned by name in various laws and regulations that grant us access to protection from discrmination, to accommodations, educational services, etc. Renaming ADHD would immedately eliminate that access and protection until those laws could be updated. It would literally disenfranchise millions of people overnight, and the harm caused would be immense.

That's all, please stop posting about this every day.
