I’ll simplify it further: ADHD is really ODD. Obedience deficit disorder. Some of us are wired to disobey. That’s it

idk why everyone is so confused about ADHD. it's just what happens when the alienation of modern life biases your central nervous system to produce disordered phenomenology such that variegated emotional blocks will hinder cogent evaluation of relational stakes. simple really

wait so the idea here is that counterwill is comorbid with ADD/ADHD, but not the same thing? what is ADD minus counterwill then?

Worth looking at even if it might be largely wrong it could still reframe which aspects are worthy of more examination Also... Normies need to adjust to adhd people in their midst.. not either or... some positions will be natural fits for more erratic sorts to achieve more

Compliments : "characterized as stubborn, oppositional, cheeky, insolent, spoiled. “Wilful” is a description almost universally applied to them." These are good things. I like people like this as long as they are looking for ways for "you go your way while I go mine"

fwiw i strongly disagree with both models, and especially with the idea of ADHD as a reversible impairment. (i remain confused by the idea of a doctor saying ADHD is a “reversible impairment” while also saying he still has it.) ADHD is a neurotype, but it’s distinct from ODD/PDA
