@Bill regarding your statement “labeling it a deficit and a disorder, as if it’s something you can cure or “re-order” seems wrong to me as well.” I never said ADHD was a disease to be cured and implying it is a disorder just recognizes that somethings are not working as they should. The term deficit works because we lack control over our executive functions, hence a deficit of control. By recognizing it as a disorder/deficit, we can then move on and try and compensate for the negative aspects so that we can function as the average person would. This is necessary if we are to survive, i.e. make money, maintain social bonds, cause no harm, etc…
