Relative standards in ADHD diagnoses: The role of specialist behavior.
Dalsgaard S, Humlum MK, Nielsen HS, Simonsen M. (2012)
Abstract
Recent papers indicate that children who are relatively old-for-grade have a significantly lower incidence of ADHD diagnosis. We find that this is not the case in Denmark, suggesting that diagnoses are less subjective in a regime where only specialists diagnose.
