I didn't read past the first few lines. About people with ADHD being "different" and embracing it? Yeah. Well, being different means being unable to concentrate in school and not take good notes. That's not embraced. That's given bad grades. I HAVE to take my meds otherwise I do bad in school and at home. I get nothing done. ADHD isn't just "Oh they're different" its a disorder because it DISRUPTS normal functioning at home, school, vocationally, or socially. It disrupts what I want to do in life. Therefore, I take meds to ease the symptoms, so I can actually accomplish what I want to accomplish.
