Each speaker provoked rebuttals from other speakers and no matter how they tried, there was no consensus on when exactly we can speak of pain. The last speaker was an old professor. He mounted the podium after all the heated debates, looked over his glasses, waited until the room was quiet, and then said: <strong>It is pain, when it hurts.<\/strong>And then he sat down again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5293\" style=\"width: 183px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5293\" title=\"How to prevent ADHD, by not diagnosing it\" src=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/hoe-voorkom-je-ADHD-door-de-diagnose-niet-te-stellen-boek.jpg\" alt=\"How to prevent ADHD, by not diagnosing it\" width=\"183\" height=\"286\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Set the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ADHD diagnosis<\/span> not too fast!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I was reminded of this anecdote when I was reading Laura Batstra's book, which has the provocative title: \"<strong>How do you prevent ADHD? By not diagnosing it<\/strong>\" carries. According to Batstra, we should be wary of trying to determine too quickly whether something is now <em>ADHD<\/em> is or is not. Because, she says, actually it doesn't even matter. Especially not in the beginning, when help is just being sought.<\/p>\n<p>That diagnosis can always come later, let's first see if we can use known therapeutic techniques and parenting support to influence the difficult behaviour. After all, there are no interventions specifically aimed at ADHD, it is always a normal therapeutic process of behavioural change. Only when that does not work can medication perhaps play a role. It would save a lot of money, according to Batstra, and it would probably also reduce the number of overdiagnoses (wrongful diagnoses of a disorder).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2921\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2921\" title=\"Steven Pont - Beware of ADHD diagnosis\" src=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Steven-Pont.jpg\" alt=\"Steven Pont - Beware of ADHD diagnosis\" width=\"296\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Steven-Pont-17x31.jpg 17w, https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Steven-Pont-123x215.jpg 123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beware of posing a <em>ADHD diagnosis<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How different this sounds from the approach of, say, international <strong>ADHD expert<\/strong> <strong>Russell Barkley<\/strong>, which advises parents of a child with ADHD to really treat their child as a <strong>disabled<\/strong> to see.
