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.
