ADHD is much more complicated than a broken leg. This analogy is very liable to fall apart. If, for example, you've been taught to walk without your leg (or if you have three legs, all left feet, whatever), using a crutch doesn't make much sense. We can't safely poke someone's head and test their dopamine levels. So we aren't good at differentiating what could potentially be learned cognitive behaviors | brain structure | genetics from hormonal neurology. Hell, these could all be the same thing on so many levels, but it takes only one to mark a meaningful difference. Point is, different people are different. And it's rude to think you know someone's experience well enough to liken it to "punching yourself in the face".
