    Take it with grain of salt.

    UK, EU, America has different societal values. I never had an issue with ADHD growing up in Asia. Nobody friggin cares. It's only western people making a huge deal outta nothing.

    I consider my ADHD as a weapon because I can take it down a notch with medicine when I need to focus, but for other things like gaming, I can use my aDHD for better perf.

    Shit's nothing.

      Interesting, I thought that Asian countries are the most hostile countries towards neurodivergent people.

        It depends, but highest % of ASD and ADHD is among non-white population - from statistics of USA and UK.
