These misconceptions not only affect individual diagnoses, particularly for women and girls, but also shape harmful policies in medical and educational systems. I highlight the importance of addressing misinformation, especially regarding the false notion that trauma causes ADHD, which is perpetuated by some respected professionals. I urge viewers to recognize these myths and advocate for accurate information to prevent further harm. Together, we can work towards a more informed understanding of ADHD and autism."}
