I’ve often thought that I could be diagnosed with ADHD if I wanted, but I don’t feel the need to label myself with a “disorder” and its possible stigma for something that I feel helps me more than it hurts (now that I’ve learned strategies to work with it). Then again, it might have been easier/faster to find my coping strategies if I was diagnosed early. For these reasons, I think it would be helpful to drop the “disorder” bit culturally.
