  • ADHD and autism diagnoses have surged. A massive study may help explain why

    A large Danish study found that children diagnosed with ADHD or autism today more closely resemble their peers in the general population than those diagnosed 10 years ago. The shift suggests that rising diagnosis rates may partly reflect broader identification and changing diagnostic patterns, rather than only an increase in the underlying conditions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260924020353.htm
