For me, ADHD isn't a disorder as much as a collection of personality traits. I have a bunch of traits I constantly have to look out for to ensure I complete work, and I've built a system so that I can cope really effectively, w/o medicine.
To argue that it's any other case is sorta weird.
- mcantor 15y agoI don't think "disorder" and "collection of personality traits" are mutually exclusive terms.
- randall 15y agoI guess to be more specific: I don't think this should be treated as a medical condition. I'm in the Temple Grandin camp of neurodiversity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity
- antimora 15y agoI agree with you. I don't think just because one's trait isn't optimal to the modern environment it should be as a mental disorder and try fixing by medication.
