Myth-Busting Adult ADHD

The most persistent misconceptions about adult and late-diagnosed ADHD, taken apart properly. Not by declaring them wrong, but by asking why they feel reasonable and where they stop being so.

The method
Q1

Rational core

Why does this belief feel reasonable?

Q2

Overgeneralisation

Where does it stop being reasonable?

Q3

The evidence

What does current research show?

Q4

Real uncertainty

What genuinely remains unknown?

The four questions the course applies to every myth
What changes for you

By module 8, you'll be able to:

01

Apply a four-question framework (rational core, overgeneralisation, current evidence, genuine uncertainty) to any ADHD misconception you meet in clinic, including your own.

02

Recognise how referral bias and masking keep many women out of the diagnostic pathway until adulthood.

03

Separate visible success from internal impairment, so that achievement alone doesn't close an assessment early.

04

Discuss the overdiagnosis debate with patients and colleagues without either dismissing it or conceding to it.

05

Explain the real cost of a late diagnosis, and why a single person's story, however compelling, can't settle a clinical question.
