I don’t think ADHD itself makes you smarter. It’s more about autism and some personality disorders which look very similar to ADHD or even live alongside it.
Hmm maybe if you have a very distorted definition of “smart”. I’m talking about intelligence and it’s a well known observation amongst therapists that such disorders are related to increased intelligence. Faster though? More likely the opposite.
And yet there’s people whose autism is severely debilitating…
I’m certainly not saying autism makes you stupid but people diagnosed with it have a huge range of intelligence so it’s unfair to say it “makes you smarter” IMO. There’s no proof of causation even if it often does correlate
Oh I probably forgot to mention that the mentioned disorders don’t always correlate (very good word for it btw) but in many cases (2/3 I’d say) they do. It also depends on the exact condition as some do not have such effect. And I don’t have proof of causation either. They’re related but idk what causes what. However for the purpose of meme creation it’s enough.
I need you to realize that the numbers you’re pulling out of your ass have no basis in reality. Nothing you’re saying has a basis in reality. Your gut feelings aren’t facts.
I do have basis in reality. I heard this from real life therapists. If anything you’re the one who doesn’t have basis in reality. Or maybe nowadays therapists don’t even say the truth not to damage “inclusivity”.
Anyways enough of this arguing. I told my points about the meme and now it’s going way off topic.
I’m sorry, but citing “real life therapists” is very weak indeed. They’re trained professionals, sure, but that doesn’t mean they have any better grasp of research methodology or statistics than anyone else.

Autism and other personality disorders don’t make you smarter or faster, either…
