How many children are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD every year?

How many children are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD every year? I am extremely interested in this topic because I myself was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 8. When I was thinking of a topic this one topped the charts in my ideas. My battle with this disease has neither been hard nor easy on me or my family. Many people believe it's hard living with a mental disorder. Which in fact, it isn't all that hard. There are upsides and downsides to having this disorder. The upsides you get to ignore boring things such as video games, and texting. The downsides you usually space and zone out sometimes in class. Nobody wants to live with a mental or physical disorder, but the truth of it is it's the way God made us he made us unique and special. We have to live our lives like this. Don't think of it as an inconvenience, but otherwise, an opportunity. Everything everyone says about this is untrue, such as, it is not a real disorder. It is not something that we should make fun of or push aside like it's nothing.
