At face value it sounds too arbitrary to be possible.

A child's birthdate is a powerful predictor of whether they will be medicated for ADHD, an Australian study suggests.

Children are being misdiagnosed and prescribed ADHD drugs 1485118894605

The analysis of more than 300,000 Western Australian school children found the youngest in the class were significantly more likely to have been given drugs to treat ADHD compared to their older classmates.

Children aged six to 10 years old who were born in June (the last month of the recommended school year intake) were roughly twice as likely to have been prescribed ADHD medication on the PBS than children born in the previous July, the oldest in the class.
