  ADHD is a real condition and over-diagnosed at the same time; the two claims are not incompatible, because the line marking normality is a judgement call.

  Their words

  But I also think that this is not mutually incompatible with the view that there's also overdiagnosis. And I think we need very careful ways of making diagnosis because the conventional way is you take a history from a person about what the problem is.
