The function of Johnnyâs retrospective ADHD diagnosis is to show it is universal and has always been around. This may be particularly important for ADHD, because until recently, ADHD was a somewhat contested diagnosis in the public gaze, at least in the UK, as it has been a poster child for medicalisation.18â20 This level of scepticism may prompt a defensive reaction from ADHD scientists who feel the subject of their enquiry is threatened. They therefore pick examples to demonstrate the universality, stability and unchanging nature of behaviours that, if seen today, would prompt an ADHD diagnosis. Johnny having ADHD legitimises ADHD as a category. ADHD is a theory that we use, but it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real.
