Virulent new stigma

My goal here is to illustrate how the prospect of misdiagnosis of ADHD threatens the acceptance and legitimacy of those who are generally affected by the disorder. I also hope to highlight the irony that this article focuses on the ease with which the Internet as a source for perpetrating fraudulent diagnosis, yet this dangerous article-easily found on the Internet by anyone, not just professionals-is equally virulent.

I would like to comment on your article "How easy is it to fake ADHD?" You address the accessibility of symptoms and test parameters on the Internet and how this can be exploited by individuals motivated to be falsely diagnosed with ADHD. This is inarguably a concern for both the psychopharmaceutical and academic communities. The sad irony is that the public accessibility of articles like yours, which guide the uninformed reader down a path of doubt, threatens to create a new stigma for those living with learning disorders. By focusing on the subject of misdiagnosis you jeopardize the legitimacy of the diagnoses of those challenged with ADHD to the general public.
Equally disturbing is your closing sentence: "what is to be done?" Re-reporting of a primary source obligates you to present all information in a format suitable for a general audience. The answer can easily be found in the abstract of the primary source article on which you are reporting - methods for testing need to be revised to include detection of feigning. Linking to the abstract is insufficient. For you to identify a problem and then the reader without a solution not only shows failure of your publication as a source of information, but compromises the science that you re-report.
