Unless USP invented ADHD secretly and we somehow never realized, it’s real and wasn’t made by Big Pharma or whatever other bullshit. Learn a logic. ADHD came first.

ADHD was discovered before big pharma so what kind of logic anyway
i am constantly amazed at how common ADHD is, yet how misunderstood it is
I was going to ask why anyone would think ADHD is fun but then I remembered I have no right to ask that
Is there a non-clunky way to refer to ADHD people without it taking thirteen thousand extra words or sounding like something a five year old would say
Like adhd-ers… is dumb
And adhd people… is also dumb
The only other options are.. incredibly round about and unnecessary

Okay okay okay I have to say something
I keep seeing posts about how a “neurotypical” will say they like something a lot/know everything about it and how, I don’t know, someone with ADHD or Autism actually knows more about or likes it more, JUST by the fact that they have ADHD/Autism and the other person doesn’t?
You don’t have a monopoly on liking stuff to the point of only liking that thing or mostly that thing or focusing on mostly that thing for a while. You don’t have a monopoly on knowing an obscene amount of information about something. Just because the disorder contributes to it doesn’t make it exclusive to that disorder.
@candidlyautistic oh yeah, of course. Obviously you can’t know about something you haven’t experienced. I’m talking about when an Autistic says they really like x, an NT says “oh yeah me too” and assuming that because you’re Autistic you automatically like it in a more intense way or like it more. I’m going to assume the experience isn’t exclusive to Autism or ADHD, but I see what you mean about not knowing an experience without experiencing it.
What I’m trying to say is you don’t have a monopoly on a trait just because it’s caused by your disorder or is a diagnostic criteria of your disorder. Anyone can experience anything to any degree. After all, disorders (and disorder symptoms) exist separate from a diagnosis (and separate from a disorder).
And while I’m on the topic: you don’t have a monopoly on the traits either.
