How do you know it’s self-diagnosed? Children have diagnosable ADHD, and nothing in this post suggest this parent just randomly diagnosed their child.
ADHD is not the same as being “full of energy,” that implies a deep misunderstanding of the condition.
Exactly! I have a child who first got their diagnosis at 6 years old. It wasn't their personal energy level that spurred the diagnosis.

People self-diagnosing young children with ADHD is the dumbest thing.
Children are full of energy and easily distracted, people! That's their whole thing!
