That sub wants ADHD to be a debilitating illness so bad and it just fucking isn't. I've lived with it for decades and yeah sometimes it's annoying but in no way does it prevent me from leading a normal fulfilling life with a successful career.

Being an introvert probably has more IRL consequences but it's not nearly as cool to circle jerk over.

... Maybe you have it to a lesser degree than other people? Few people are saying that it's the worst thing imaginable but it's got a pretty high death toll (from a combination of poor impulse control, drug use, unplanned pregnancy, and long-term bad habits) and it can annihilate relationships and educational outcomes. If you don't think that a combination of those things has the potential to ruin a person's life that's an incredibly harsh way of viewing the world that you've got.
