ADHD is known for being over-diagnosed. In the last few years, it has been reported that as many as 20% of diagnoses are falsely determined. One study in 2010 by Michigan State University found that close to a million cases were likely not correct, often based simply on the fact that a child is the youngest in their class.
In the time since this research was published, the FDA has approved use of a new, state of the art procedure. Dr. Lauter leverages this new diagnostic approach to augment his own clinical evaluation as part of his objective testing for ADHD.
