The seemingly poor quality of this "study" aside, the whole "ADHD is ackshually a superpower" movement over the last few years is really frustrating for me, especially hearing it from people who "suffer" from it. There's a broad spectrum of symptoms with varying severities for sure, but for me, I can definitely point to it as the number one thing that has adversely affected the quality and trajectory of my life, and I'd do pretty much anything to be rid of it. It's very hard to explain to people who do not deal with it, even the people that are like "oh actually it makes me super special and productive in X scenario." Cool. Good for you. For many people it's completely debilitating. I'm one of the luckier ones that fell into a career that suits my natural tendencies, and have trained myself to overcome disadvantages, but go visit an ADHD support group sometime online. It's truly heartbreaking to hear the stories.
