Neuropsychologist Katie S. Davis warns against overdiagnosing developmental disorders in children, while acknowledging that diagnosis can be beneficial when it opens the door to treatment and support at school and through insurance. Greater awareness and improved diagnosis, along with broader diagnostic criteria, have led some normal behaviors and mild or borderline conditions to be classified as disorders. An unnecessary diagnosis can undermine a child’s self-confidence, make it harder to direct resources to those who truly need them, and consume time and money that could be spent on other things. Davis believes this trend is fueled by the drive to raise the “perfect” child, social pressure and the internet, and a purely biological view of behavior. She advises parents to support their children and sometimes let them learn from the consequences of their behavior, rather than trying to control everything they do.
