I've lost the attribution, and it's only two related studies, but it's still suggestive enough to pass along: Kindergartners who just made the age cut-off for enrolling, and so are younger than the average for their class, are diagnosed as ADHD at a higher rate than those who just missed the cut-off and so are the oldest kids in the next class, even though they are just days apart in age. In other words, being young is being mistaken for a clinical condition.

Are we surprised?
