Wouldn't personally call it disabled, moreso disadvantaged mentally, setback. Unlike disabled people we're more than capable of doing most things, it's just a mental hurdle to do the same things as a NT with the same efficiency. Kind of like being left handed in a right handed world mentally but 10x worse, society doesn't seem to be able to cope or bear with people with ADHD very well.
ADHD is literally a disability...
Mate, in Germany I could even apply for a disability status. Medication doesn't magically cure you, it just helps. Some people have it so severely, that they can't function without help from someone. One of my best friends is like that. Meds help but he has high blood pressure so he can't take them. You're saying he isn't disabled? That is fucking wild man.
