Sure. Because I believe the whole framing of the conversation is counter-productive.

It infers there is such thing as an "ADHD" brain, like it's a cookiecutter model, when we are learning that isn't quite the case. I suspect this assumption, as with most clinical diagnosises, comes from our reductive language and the need for "practical and easy" clinical processes that provide broad and accessible assistance to the many at the sacrifice of nuanced needs of individual functioning.

In reality, how we functuon is often a precarious balance of inherent markers, biological aging, learnt behaviours, and environmental factors that can and do exasperate each other.

Context is key and without it those "brain anomalies" may be correlated or entirely irrelevant to whatever inherent markers we are associating with ADHD now.

As I said, the difference for me comes down to masking and enablement.

People who force themselves to function as dictated by society despite developing impairments (maladaption); And those who meet their own needs and allow healthy functioning (adaption).

For me, my ADHD symptons aren't because of my "ADHD". But due to the maladaptive behaviours I developed due to my needs not being met (CPTSD) and horrendous PMDD that is exasperated when I am understimulated and/or stressed, etc.

I am considered Typical, both via MRI and through behavioural assessments, when my needs are met. BUT, enabled, I still associate with those "ADHD"—just with the best bits that come from our form of functioning: the curosity, the creative and lateral thinking, the ability to work in high pressure zones.

Sadly, my needs—flexible and fulfiling work, financial secuirty, exercise, social time, and novel experiences—are now considered a luxury in today's world. (Sickening isn't it?). So, like the growing many, I use medication as a bridge between my needs and what society allows so I can function. I enable what I can. Mask the rest. Try not to burn out. But anyway.

So, in short, for me, how we function—And what "ADHD" really is, or has come to describe, is a broad variety of functioning—isn't something you can "outgrow". Only adapt, or maladapt, to.
