Tiddler, I completely relate to your premise! Nellie, what do you think about the fact that ADHD is defined in terms of impairment and dysfunction? I am usually reluctant to share education on ADHD with neurotypicals, because the information is so negative and so focused on the DSM threshold symptom numbers and dysfunction across multiple areas (i.e., work, social life). I feel like I am completely discrediting myself. I think it would be interesting to see experts develop a more rounded defining description that included characteristics beyond impairment — maybe even strengths.
