Just also be aware that leading experts in ADHD believe it is significantly under diagnosed, so we should be careful to thread this needle. On one hand, everything you said, but on the other is people who do need help not seeking it because they feel like their just a PoS trying to blame their failings on some disorder they don’t actually have.
I was part of the latter, finally getting diagnosed at 27, which is probably about 10 years later than it needed to be due to stigma of “over diagnosis” of adhd and “over medication”.
