Overdiagnosis is not a problem, but misdiagnosis may be as people are driven into the private sector by long waits, and sadly, missed diagnoses remain common —Tamsin Ford

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

Well, the real problem is living in a capitalist society that expects everyone to be a good little capitalist and work a 9-5.

The problem isn't having adhd, its that society expects me to function in a certain way, and the fact that I don't makes them want to change how I act.

There are other traits I have from trauma that are considered positive by society, so they don't give a shit, and in fact encourage those behaviors.

My problem isn't my job, I am completely fine with that, it's the way I barely function in my personal life, and a lot of that isn't related to the structure of our society at all. There could be less friction in a few places yes but that wouldn't completely fix my issues either.

Sorry but no. 9-5 is hell, but even without that life isn't pretty. A huge one is rejection sensitivity, that pretty much only affects personal life. Can't really ask people to accommodate for that.
