If this was true you’d be able to quote from the DSM where they use the term mental illness.

No, you are just representing what I said dishonestly. If I’m wrong, you will be able to quote where I said it wasn’t a disorder.

Speak for yourself. There is a reason the DSM doesn’t call ADHD a mental illness, which is that it is not considered one by the psychiatric profession in modern times.
