We know that Autism and ADHD are diagnoses are not just a trend or for fakers because the rates of formal diagnoses have gone up dramatically (especially for women). Clinicians don't give out diagnosis willy-nilly: There's a rigorous, time-consuming and expensive assessment process.

Please read and sign this position. People with ME and other energy limiting chronic illness are NOT lazy. They can’t WILL themselves better.
If you push them - it causes devastating harm.
It’s junk science, bad medicine and it needs to stop.
