  • This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It’s just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won’t do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There’s even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I’m aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.






  • Well it is a behavior disorder. If you don’t have disruptive behavior, plenty of other psychiatric conditions cause the same or worse executive dysfunction (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder) and the same or worse social anxiety and rejection sensitivity (e.g., social anxiety disorder). Let’s not pretend like ADHD isn’t difficult for others around the individual to deal with; it is, by definition, if someone has it.

    Ask me if you’d like sources for any of the above.
