I see so many people self-diagnose ADHD because of their poor TikTok-induced attention spans, but they have perfect executive functioning and short term memory. It PMO because it makes people think that ADHD is not actually disabling.

Like it is not just focus, it is memory recall, ability to perceive time, executive function, etc. it is so much in one because it is a dopamine uptake disorder. It impacts the chemical reward system in your brain. A short form content addiction is not the same as a developmental disorder.

as someone who was diagnosed at 6 i had a girl on here once try telling me it was false and not true because the media has made it seem like adhd isn’t as bad as it is. ADHD and living with it is hell. i would sell my soul if that meant i would never have it again.
