ADHD literally has “disorder” in the name. The prejudices people have against these diverse people are rooted in medical authorities referring to them with insulting and condescending language. We stopped calling being gay or transgender a disease or disorder because it fucks up the lives of those labelled as such.

Wanting to get rid of ADHD and Autism may be eugenics, but it’s also a popular notion. What do you think happens when you tell the whole of society since these people are different, they are disordered, and need to be treated with lower expectations and given more benefits? Plenty of the disabled were killed by the Nazi’s including Autistics.



I agree! Homosexuality was a disease up to the 80s too!
