Question of the Week: Is There Still a "Stigma" to Having ADHD?

By Eileen Bailey, Health Guide Tuesday, July 20, 2010

I read a report on Consumer Reports this morning that said, "...there seems to have been a shift in acceptance over the past few years, almost a complete about-face." The report references celebritites such as Michael Phelps and Howie Mandel have increased awareness and taken away some of the stigma attached to a diagnosis of ADHD.

 

My question this week is:


Have you found the stigma of having ADHD has lessened? Do you feel you or your child are still struggling with misconceptions of ADHD?  Have perceptions changed?
