What are the inherent flaws in the scientific theory of ADHD which cause so many people to deny its existence?

Hello.

I notice there are many well-educated, well-respected people who will express contempt at the notion of “Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder”.

Why is it exactly that this scientific theory is not very well accepted?

And why is it also widely believed, that in the cases where it does actually exist, it is not as severe as it is made out to be?

I am wondering what are the key factors in the theory of ADHD which turn educated people, including those qualified to diagnose neurological disorders, away from believing in it?
