They don't give kids such serious diagnosis because they haven't yet matured, they haven't finished growing. In our teen years our brains get milliniation, I can't spell it but it's a thing that grows in our brain and it has to do with maturity so that is why they have things like conduct disorder etc for children and that is whay it is important to know if a child had one of those disorders or could have had but wasn't diagnosed with it.
