Accepting ADHD as a thing, immediately means accepting all the so-called treatments for it (Concerta, Ritalin etc), which immediately creates a (huge) market, with market forces that will do everything possible to maintain the market alive and kicking - hence standing in the way of digging deeper. Cancer is diagnosed in a very methodological and strict way, and the fact that we discovered it doesn't mean we discovered the cure for it (sadly, curing cancer is very hard). I have no problem with ADHD being a defined disorder that we can ask questions about - as long as we understand that it is not a thing, cannot be objectively diagnosed (and therefore treatments are as vague as the diagnosis), and people cannot have it (the same way we have a flu or COVID-19). About homosexuality - it was just an example of how the psychiatric bible - i.e., the DSM - can get things horribly wrong and therefore should be taken with a grain of salt.
