Living in Europe, my perception (AKA: anecdotal / unscientific / non-measured) is that most of the ADHD-diagnosed people I know live in the US, while I only know one European person in my network who received similar diagnosis from a professional psychiatrist. Counterintuitively, I know way more European people than Americans, which makes my perception feel even more skewed.
I very well know that my sample(ing method) could be wrong, it can be a coincidence, etc etc.
So my questions are:
* anyone else have similar experience in their friend circles?
* is there a higher number of ADHD diagnosis in tech / wealthy population? (considering that most of my American friends/colleagues are from tech, this would somewhat explain)
* do I miss something obvious? (e.g. maybe Europeans would never discuss their diagnosis with friends, etc.)
