ADHD like many different things are a spectrum. You can have a slight disorder or you can have a really really strong one.
I’m saying this to a level where I personally know bloodlines where men suicide is just a thing that “will happen”. Guess what is the last year’s diagnosis on that?
I live in a society where official stats says that 0.0-0.1% of population is affected and such treatment is not needed. From multiple available treatment options (where single one has around 30% efficiency) there are only 2 available. I recently heard a joke that probably full European country has at most 2 ADHD therapists. Sure maybe you’re lucky enough to get diagnosis but then you might not even be able to treat it meds unless you emigrate. That’s why pride is important - it creates advocates. Advocates creates awareness and awareness provides solutions.
As you mentioned your diagnosis there is a chance you’re sensitive to the critique (it’s often coexisting). Keep in mind that your critique is targeting exact same people like you who struggled with it and came out with pride. Don’t take that away from people.
