I have adhd. in my experience, commodifying the use of ADHD as anything other than a mental disorder makes it easier for people to make claims like "everyone is a little bit adhd" etc.
An ADHD diagnosis is not purely based off of exhibiting behaviors typically associated with it. While everyone is forgetful/distracted sometimes, ADHDers have a physical/chemical difference in their brain which make such behaviors impossible to avoid.
> Suggesting the whole world stop doing this is silly
Just wanted to say that I don't think this is a silly pursuit, and I'm sure plenty of other people reading feel the same way. I think this is a serious issue because the language we use is related to how we act and treat each other, and talking about the issue has a real effect.
Reminds me of the quote attributed to Margaret Mead, whom I actually don't know anything about besides the quote:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Too corny? Idk. I like it
Yea maybe save it for when speech is actually a real issue and not over policing and treating it like it's your personal servant. Grow up and get over it
