If you have to work harder than other to reach the same level and to keep it, you are not smarter or dumber, you just have a disability that makes it harder.
I can’t say I’m surprised how adamantly people want to play the disability card. Life’s hard. My family is full of people with adhd and the ones that lean into it are all doing very very poorly. Those of us that have worked out coping mechanisms have all increased our socioeconomic position.
It’s your life. Do with it what you want.
This sort of thinking isn’t unique to ADHD. For example, there are also Little people who refuse to see themselves as disabled.
That doesn’t mean those who choose to see themselves are disabled are wrong but anyone who demands someone see themselves as disabled is not only wrong, they’re also an asshole.

That’s not what I said.
