I would like to add one more comment/clarification to my parent post. The reason “ADHD is a superpower” is very offensive to me is not solely because I find it debilitating, but because it also downplays/minimizes classifications of “disability” in a way I consider very harmful. It’s already been extraordinarily difficult to get doctors or employers to even recognize adhd, let alone that it can be disabling. I don’t find the “it’s a superpower” conversation productive, quite the opposite, and at worst it feels patronizing and narcissistic.
