I agree. From what I've seen, when a person allows their problems to define them it leads to a negative spiral that maximizes the impact of those problems. Would you rather be introduced as "the madaxe_again with a learning disability" or "the madaxe_again, who just can't sit still", which would you rather think of yourself as? Its unfortunate that the solution is often prescription medication rather than an education that better suits their learning modality.
