neurodivergence is not a thing afaik.
we are different from others just as how everyone is different from each other (unless we have some exceptional adhd).
I have adhd, it's hard. Many people who don't have adhd also struggle from various issues (depression, anxiety, OCD).
very few people are "sorted" with playing life in easy mode.
these memes may make us feel special but I find it silly.
The internet over-romanticization of (not only) ADHD has to stop. It is stupid and I believe causes more harm than good.
I actually think this meme was one of the better ones: as you mentioned in another comment, it's the ones that depict the brief moments where the condition isn't totally debilitating as if we're suddenly superheroes that are concerning.
This one felt like it was merely an observation of a typical ADHD experience. And to be honest, it was well-executed because it didn't lean into an opinion, it left the reader to form one. Those memes are actually the "unsung heroes" of the ADHD community, because anyone who sees it and finds it relatable and then notices what sub it's in might do more research or go get evaluated.
