Eh. When people say this they mean

My son is [of medical status] ADHD.

It's like how people say "the car needs washed". They dont say [to be] anymore. It enrages me, but I've been coached that language evolves and we apparently need to respect that.

I personally think it's dumb, and people. Should be held to account: your child has a condition, they aren't a condition.

More trivially but also annoying: your car has a condition, it isn't dirty.
