Because this community posts generic memes that anyone can relate to (ADHD or not)
Yup. Everyone will experience the symptoms of adhd, which is why it’s so relatable. It’s a disorder when those symptoms are an all day every day thing.
Also, any neurodivergent person will share some common experience coming from not being part of the matin group… I have many friends with ASD, while I’m ADHD.
While we are very different, we also get along so well because we share the fact that our behaviours and tastes are unexpected. We have much greater patience for other people’s “quirks”!
I honestly wonder if i have ASD. Cuz there are quite a few more symptoms of ASD that I have. But my psychiatrist told me not to seek a formal diagnosis mostly cuz its so difficult to get in germany and it has more downs and ups for an adult.
If you’re unsure about yourself and an official diagnostic would help you know, then id say go for it.
If you know yourself, then an official paper won’t change you. It will only be useful for external recognition, and then that’s very dependent on the system in which you live.
That being said, I’m just a person with no training on this topic. You should put your psychiatrist advice before mine!
