ADHD and identity

ADHD is not merely a disorder of attention but a different neurological configuration that shapes how someone relates to time, focus, desire, and social presence—raising questions about whether the "deficit" lies in the brain or in a world designed around neurotypical rhythms. Understanding ADHD as identity means recognizing both genuine struggles and authentic strengths that don't disappear with diagnosis or medication.
