I have adhd and am two seconds away from muting adhd.
I'm two seconds away from gatekeeping this shit so lemme just make this easy for myself and mute adhd but I will say this: ADHD is real and everything, but ain't no way all y'all got it lol. Don't @ me lol.
People are mad now but I said what I said. ADHD traits have a lot of overlap with other mental/neurological disorders. Keep in mind the extent to which this shit is actually impacting your everyday life (not just school or work productivity either) and for how long.
The last thing we need is a deluge of people figuring they have ADHD because they're, say, having trouble focusing in lockdown (who isn't???). I think it kinda cheapens the seriousness ADHD poses for people who have been dealing with this shit for as long as they can remember.
