Like, what if we’re just different, but we need “treatment” to survive in a society that runs on already inhuman paradigms that are called “normal”?
There’s a lot of conflict and debate on this. Would ADHD folks still be “disabled” in a world that didn’t attempt to force them to run like a misshapen gear in industrial-revolution clockwork? Maybe.
I still think it’s a disability though. One we can make peace with, but it makes general survival a huge pain to deal with, and not just in modernized inhuman society.
The correct treatment can make these things much more manageable.
It can have perks. And I like my personality the way it is…but calling it a “superpower” is a huge stretch too. I really don’t think it’s some kind of cool “evolutionary fork” like some people want to push.
I hate lots of things about modern society and it’s sociopath expectations, but also we must be careful not to fall into the trap of not helping people cope when their life falls apart when left to their own devices.
I think I get you.
