>So far as I know there’s no ADHD blood or other objective test.

There's a few genes that have been found to be responsible/correlate strongly i believe but I assume genotyping goes a bit far for common diagnosis.

I'm sure it's not the same for everyone that's diagnosed tho and there's a good amount of misdiagnosis too.

Until there is a more objective way to diagnose ADHD, how can one argue who really has the condition or not? It's not like we humans even remotely understand the brain in its entirety.
