One last hot take and then I’ll shut up: the reason adhd is framed first and foremost as a learning disability when it is in fact more apt to call it an emotional processing disorder is bc our society is only concerned w the ways neurological disorders impede a person’s ability to “function” aka get a job and contribute positively to capitalist society. How adhd affects interpersonal behaviors and emotional health is only relevant insofar as it relates to a person’s level of societal functioning PERIOD. There is no interest in improving our actual livelihoods

This becomes especially clear when one examines the effects of the medication they put us on. It is designed to increase our docile productivity at the detriment of pretty much everything else ranging from the mental to the physical (loss of appetite, sleep deprivation and a motley of other basic stuff becomes insufferable)
