adhd i think is underrated in its debilitation like obvious people with the illness are able to live successful and productive lives but i think it’s still underestimated how bad the effects can be and how little of an upside there is to them i think one upside is that it can sometimes make extroverted people more likable not even more charismatic or more socially competent though just… more fun to be around due to the crazy stuff often brought up in low stakes conversations but that’s it other than that it’s anything but a “superpower” pretty much all of its success stories are in spite of it they might as well have tried to run a race with a sprained ankle i mean if you look at all the “coping mechanisms” a telling term on its own people dong “cope” for good things lol they all are pretty much akin to torturing yourself more than the average person needs to go get anything done btw i have adhd is that wasn’t clear i don’t think i would have the right to say all this stuff if i didn’t lol
