I don't understand why you are being hostile...

Nowhere did they say that ADHD is a made-up condition. What I got from the comment was that a lot of the difficulties with ADHD are due to societal expectations and norms rather than inherent to ADHD itself. Which I'm not saying I agree with or disagree with (it's probably a mixture of both).

I get being upset at people denying ADHD, especially if it's something you suffer from and have had negative experiences in your life, but that's just not what is happening here. I was recently diagnosed with BPD by my psychiatrist and that is to my understanding one of the more unpleasant things to deal with, but projecting the frustration of dealing with a tough mental health condition outwards is not really healthy.

In my experience the majority of people on Lemmy and specifically this community are pretty understanding and I think deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I didn't read that comment so uncharitably. I think they're saying that society is unkind to people with ADHD.

Sounds rough. Don't take it out on me.
