No you are wrong. The fact that ADHD is a mostly subjective collection of behavioral traits, many people get lumped in as ADHD. So many people called ADHD would have normal brains.

There are a core set of people who definitely have brains that are different and need medication etc.But the way it is currently diagnosed lumps too many people and makes it useless to call all people with ADHD the same.

My son with Generalized Anxiety Disorder was diagnosed with severe ADHD. This is the problem because many things can cause the same set of behaviors so a diagnosis of ADHD is not accurate enough.
