It's rising but it's unclear why - some of it is definitely just better diagnoses.
I think stuff like dyslexia are just more widely acknowledged now - in the older days they'd just think you're stupid and treat you like that.

Diagnostics are definitely a lot better. Back in the day they only focused on the "hyperactive" part of ADHD. If you had other issues too bad, you just failed stuff.
Quite a few people our age are just now getting diagnosed with this stuff as adults. They're also learning some of this stuff can be hereditary which will hopefully at least speed up the process for their kids.
