ADHD symptoms are not "character flaws" and people experiencing it aren't victims. I'm also not sure why you would think that people don't try? Would you tell a depressed person they just need to try not being depressed? Maybe they need to try smiling more?

Not everyone's brain works exactly the same, and that's ok. Understanding how your brain works differently and utilizing strategies to lean into strengths and adapt to challenges DO empower people to impact their quality of life.
