It’s a worldwide trend, not just here. Parents self-diagnosing their child as “neurodivergent”, etc. I know most of this is due to having terms to describe it now (vs. “he’s a weirdo”), but often this diagnosis is used as a crutch or excuse. As if, oh well, nothing we can do here. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yes, I know, diagnosing is also useful in addressing the issue and maybe treating it, but it’s just as easily abused. Yes, this is also ”old man yells at cloud”.
I have nothing to say on that.
