    ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed at the same time for me… I blame misinformation and overall confusion regarding ADHD… When I talked about my symptoms to others, a common answer I would get is “common among people” - if my pratically extreme executive dysfunction and lower leg muscle destroying hyperactivity was actually common among people than the global society wouldn’t last a week

      Even with this, I feel like the person is still “gatekeeping” ADHD. I can understand where they are coming from, but there are many undiagnosed adhd people around after all…
