Wtf man. ADHD very nearly ended my marriage and my career. I think you are being very insensitive to the issues adhd people face.

  I am not. I experience them and suffered the consequences. ADHD people suffer because we don't meet expectations. Either there is something wrong with us or something wrong with the expectations and I choose the latter and want to help fix it. Saying "something is wrong with me" and wanting to fit in, for me, is the problem. Constantly not meeting expectations is the problem but I deny that not meeting them is the fault. The world and I do not get along. I do not want to shape myself for the world, I want to shape the world for people like me. Fuck everyone who wants me to be different. Saying ADHD is a disease is just as offensive to me as saying homosexuality is a disease to be cured.

    Its not about other peoples expectations though, its also about our own. Maybe you are okay with never finishing any project you start. I am not. It feels awful to me to start 10 Projects a month and never finishing any. It feels awful to me to be very sensitive to rejection, even though I realize the other person did not mean it like that. > Saying ADHD is a disease is just as offensive to me as saying homosexuality is a disease to be cured. You can not compare these like this. One is a sexual orientation, and the other is a inability to regulate yourself the way you want.

      There's some massive irony in him telling off others for treating ADHD as a disease, all because he doesn't like others imposing things on him...
