This is also exactly the line of thinking that happened to keep me away from an ADHD diagnosis for such a long time. The point of the “superpower” language, when used by someone who is actually ADHD is that you feel impaired and are lead to believe by everyone and everything that this just the way you are - that you’re lazy, that you’re incompetent, dumb etc. And those successful focused people, they’re just more hard working, they put in more effort. ADHD drugs are life changing because suddenly you’re perfectly fine sitting still, being focused, not interrupting people.
Posts like those are what gave me the confidence to seek an ADHD diagnosis.
