      My best friend is currently in the formal diagnosis portion of her ADHD journey, she is a year younger than you.
      The relief she feels at simply being acknowledged is palpable, and finally being in the position to DO SOMETHING about it is clearly improving her overall mental health. She's been crying too.
      Wishing you much success and hope you receive your long overdue answers and the treatment and relief you (and she) deserve!

    They're making a distinction between typical and atypical because ADHD is a medical diagnosis not a personality trait. You have to be impaired to get a medical diagnosis. There's nothing wrong with stating that fact. I have Asperger's syndrome myself and i have impairments. Doesn't mean I'm not competent or good at anything though. There's also people with much higher support requirements than i and it would be a travesty to keep the narrative of it's just a difference when it isn't and they require support.

      Thank you! I don't like it when I see people acting like it's just this "quirky" thing. I have reeeally bad ADHD and I need a lot of help to do a lot of things. I wish I didn't, but I do. But there are people that have ADHD that don't need as much help. Everyone is different. But one thing all us neurodivergent people have in common is that it's an impairment, not a fun thing.
      I hope I read your comment correctly AND communicated this correctly. I'm trying to think through some pretty heavy brain fog.

I don't think drugs are the answer and the brain scans seem to support that. I figured since the path is either under developed or just not there then what is a drug going to do, exactly what they have been, nothing. Because I really imbue the H part I and everyone else I know thought that it was an overdeveloped gland or something like that. Bit of a shock to be honest.

      No need to feel bad. I did quite a lot of study myself as my 7yo diagnosed with ADHD and taking daily pills for over a year now. Is fact that ADHD brain has part that underdeveloped than peers but also part that developed too soon than normal child. That's the reason why they're impulsive, naughty, refuse to follow order in nature as they get distracted easily

    The problem with phrases like "underdeveloped" or "disabled" is that it implies there is only one way to exist in our cookie-cutter society.
    Not saying that some neurodiverse folks can't have underdeveloped brains, or struggle with basic tasks, but that plenty of neurodiverse folks are capable of incredible things, and grouping everyone as underdeveloped is doing more harm than good.
    When we create a society that treats everyone with respect, and empowers them, we create a better society.

      (My opinion!) I would personally argue that the word disabled fits as otherwise the word has no use whatsoever. For example those who use wheelchairs would not be disabled if the world was without stairs (I have ADHD and am a wheelchair user). It's just a useful term to have to let others know you may need some extra support to function as easily in day-to-day life.
