    we don’t give a shit what “detriment to society” adhd is. Executive dysfunction is detrimental to the quality of life, and that’s one symptom amongst many

    the society was built for neurotypical people, and so neurodiverse people need help to function in it in a way that doesn’t make them feel worthless - and that means treatment, be it with therapy and/or meds

      “Executive dysfunction is detrimental to the quality of life”

      stroof.

      “neurodiverse people need help to function in it in a way that doesn’t make them feel worthless”

      some neurodiverse people do, but your reasoning implies that neurotypical people do not feel worthless in today’s society.

      that’s a take that won’t stand up to much scrutiny.

      “…treatment, be it with therapy and/or meds”

      apparently we’re in agreement.

      treatment, when necessary, effective, and desired, should be available.
