Review warns of ADHD and autism over-diagnosis risks, but not at scale

A UK review says more children and young people are being diagnosed with autism and ADHD.

The evidence raises concerns about over-diagnosis, but is not strong enough to show it is happening widely.

The review says rising mental distress is real and is not evidence of over-diagnosis.

It also warns that diagnoses can become labels that make it harder for young people to get opportunities.
