Why do people say ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, ADD, asperger's and dyspraxia are over diagnosed?

Question

I struggled through primary school because my teachers and head of school would do **** to help me. In my new school it has helped me so much! Finally I was diagnosed with dyspraxia, possibly ocular vision and ADD. I nearly failed all my education (particulally english) because of handwriting. And my old school has done nothing to make it up. So why do people say that they are "over-diagnosed" or just don't exist! If I was identified I would still be strugguling!

Hmm, now I hope you all think about your answers!

Answer 1

I would love to know how I could help my boy-friend (who has got Asperges and OCD autism)

how can I help him to understand me more?

Answer 2

 I believe that ADHD is over diagnosed and that is very unfortunate for people like you and me. It is hard to be taken seriously. I suffered greatly as a child, see as soon as a child gets a little "wild" they are taken to a doctor. The sad part being it is SO much more than that. Something you could only understand if you really have this disorder. I am 30 years old and still struggle but as I age I have gotten worse not better. School was a joke I never got proper help I too fell through the cracks (or as I like to say huge holes). Now as and adult I have to pick up the pieces of where the system failed me and so many others. I have yet to find a school or program that I can attend to further my education.
