        An ex of mine, working as a therapist once stated: “It’s a personality trait until it causes disorder, at that point it’s a disorder.”

        The pun only translates semi well from German, but yeah, while oversimplifying it’s a nice rule of thumb.

        When it prevents you from doing day to day tasks, or even tormenting enough to make you depressed most of the time, then it clearly starts being a disorder. Otherwise, it’s just normal human behaviour.

            I think I should emphasize the “clearly” part but yeah, the symptoms can appear from before it being a disorder. If you have any suspicion that you may need help, it’s never hurt to check with professional. After all, having a false positive is better in this case than speculation.

      More like always been our starter pokémon, it’s just wayyy easier to notice the more dystopian capitalism gets considering ADHD is like the antithesis of the neurology of a “successful capitalist”

        It really sucks to live in a world where your strengths are difficult to utilise.

        I have a lot of talent for a lot of things, and enjoy pursuing what interests me, which is usually beneficial for others.

        Nobody wants to pay me to do it though.
