This is probably because you are stating your subjective opinion in a rude & condescending way, instead of providing any peer-reviewed data to back up your claims.
If we look at the timeline of ADHD research, we can see that there was a lot studies about it in the 80s, and even more in 90s, so it kinda makes sense that there would be more ADHD detected in the population when the general understanding of it improved.
I thought the consensus was that it was wildly OVER diagnosed in the late 90s to make kids shut up in school

How exactly would your answer be different if you’d realised where you were?
My answer wouldn’t have changed, I just would’ve realized why I’m getting the same response over and over lol

Also DSM IV was published in 94, and refined the diagnostic criteria for ADHD https://www.cdc.gov/adhd/media/pdfs/ADHDTimeline.pdf
