I do agree that there is "over diagnosis" of some of these disorders When I was young they called the kids "very active". The solution was to keep them busy and keep them active.
I am pretty damn sure my son was/is ADD, or ADHD but I do not believe in drugs for kids unless 100% necessary so I went the old fashioned way. I had that kid on his bike, running around the track, doing cartwheels, anything to get him settled, and it did work. Over time he found coping mechanisms to allow him to concentrate when necessary and believe it or not gaming helped him.
The games helped keep his mind active and his hands busy and gave him a release.
