There's a growing acceptance in the ADHD community that the name is no longer particularly relevant.
However a lot of very good anti-discrimination rules and laws mention it by name.
And so changing the name would have an immediate negative effect on the rights of those with the condition. So probably until we have some massive breakthrough about the thing we know as "ADHD", it's likely to keep the name.
