Research.

Overdiagnosis is not a problem, but misdiagnosis may be as people are driven into the private sector by long waits, and sadly, missed diagnoses remain common —Tamsin Ford

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

Sorry but no. 9-5 is hell, but even without that life isn't pretty. A huge one is rejection sensitivity, that pretty much only affects personal life. Can't really ask people to accommodate for that.

    I kinda didn't? I just don't buy the "capitalist society is built for neurotypical people". It's built by psychopaths and most working class people survive in it, not many are thriving. We've got a harder time in it but ADHD would still suck in a healthier society.
