[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this are why I won’t tell people I have ADHD. Congrats on your shaming ignorance. You all suck. [/quote] You should be mad at the people claiming to have ADHD who don’t. [/quote] This. Not one person on this thread has claimed ADHD isn't real. The question is why/how people who have a demonstrated history with high achievement that can only be accomplished via sustained executive function are suddenly getting ADHD diagnoses. And it is sudden. Even 10 years ago, this wasn't a thing. Now I know a dozen people diagnosed with ADHD in their 30s and 40s, all with impressive resumes and graduate level educations. Of course people are going to ask questions about that trend. It doesn't make sense. [/quote] One issue is how you define “high achievement.” Someone can look like they are high achievers from the outside, but you have no idea what’s really going on.[/quote]
