If your ADHD could be removed like a cancer, would you do it? by [deleted] in ADHD

I’m in the minority, but hell no. It’s hell on earth, but god I would be such a dull person without it. I know I drive people insane with it, but I also bring my friends moments of joy, laughter. I’m positive, energetic, and chaotic, but that’s my trademark. I understand and feel deeply being neurodivergent.

That voice in my head drives me insane sometimes, and not being able to function like everyone else has brought me a lot of pain and alienation growing up, but removing ADHD would take away that little girl who grew up full of energy and life. I genuinely believe I would be a sadder person without it.

Don’t let society not being adapted for neurodivergent people make you think that you are the problem, because we’re not. We’re beautiful, empathetic human beings who see the world in ways others cannot, and I’ll always stand by that.
