And that in turn leads to diversion from the topic (and meaning).

The person already said it wasn’t because of that, no need to “perhaps” by disregarding the effort they went to.

How do I short it?

Because they need the stimulation.

Same.

Jesus. STFU.

Do us all a favour and take your own advice instead of picking on people.

I wonder if adhd should even be considered something that you get diagnosed with.

What are you on about? It sounds like you don’t know what ADHD actually is and should stop talking as if you do.

people need to be aware of this and look at WHY kids in particular seem to spend a lot of time gaming / scrolling brainless videos

Obviously because of the dopamine rush, this isn’t new information.

If people claimed to have cancer without a diagnosis by a medical professional

Not my question. If someone posts on Lemmy saying they have cancer and asks a question about detection being better these days, would you go out of your way to ask them if they have actually been diagnosed with cancer? It’s pretty fucking out there to do so.

as often as people claim to have neurodivergence

This is plain fucking rude.

Influence and cause are completely different things. If you cannot distinguish between those two things then linking you to research is pointless.

It is one way (of many) which can be used; the suggestion isn’t from someone who is involved in the implementation, just someone on Instagram.

You are assuming that is the only way which is being considered. The suggestion (of app stores verifying) is from someone who has no power in implementation.

Who said it alone would solve the problem?

Research has been done, and no.

Have you been formally diagnosed by a psychiatrist or other qualified healthcare professional?

Would you ask that to someone who told you they have cancer?

If you test more, you detect more.

… I didn’t say it was.

Dinkum

Do you think they aren’t?

A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

Why?
