Doing well at work is not an indication that you don’t have ADHD.
Of course it is. Maybe if you changed "indication" to "guarantee" I would agree with you but as it is that sentence is objectively wrong.
And of course there are other factors. I've definitely had symptoms of ADHD my entire life but once again that doesn't mean it rises to the level of a diagnosable disorder.
- avianlyric 5y agoNo that statement just isn’t true. ADHD in high IQ individuals frequently creates high performing individuals with very low self-esteem. They succeed in complex environments tackling difficult problems, but still struggle to perform basic everyday chores. High performance at work, but consistently poor performance in other aspects of life is an indicator of possible ADHD. https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/psychiatry-and-sleep/202110/high-functioning-adhd-is-often-subtle-still-mountain?amp https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/psychiatry-and-sleep...

Maybe if you changed "indication" to "guarantee" I would agree with you but as it is that sentence is objectively wrong. I'm sorry, but you are straight up spreading harmful falsehoods now. Please stop. You clearly don't have the credentials/education, nor any sources to back your claims up. (Signed, ADHD/math PhD/ex-Google/ex-Microsoft/etc)
