I made my earlier comment because you said that it isn't a disability because there's medication for it. I'd like to add more to it if you feel like reading.

There is a spectrum for ADHD, and many kids who were diagnosed with it grow up to be functioning adults who don't need medication. There are also many children diagnosed with ADHD who grow up and can't function in society.

It's a little different when we're diagnosed as adults. Some people just wonder why they do some things differently than their peers, but they aren't disadvantaged because they are neuro divergent. Others similarly choose to use support from family, friends, and therapists to develop coping skills because they are on the more mild end of the spectrum.

I am not part of those groups. I was diagnosed at 35 because I've had an extremely difficult life, and it mostly boils down to ADHD. As soon as I was medicated, I was able to start working towards my goals, and I've earned a few achievements that I've always wanted. The motivation was there, but my ADHD symptoms were so severe that I was at a disadvantage. I dont want to be disabled, but that's the language available to me for my situation
