Excellent points. Certainly, there are so many commercials promoting drugs, and so many concerns about what we eat, people are
likely uneasy about what they can believe. I see little point in explaining myself or my adhd to others. It is a murky area, seems like there are numerous variations, or each of us experiences their ADHD differently .. wouldn’t try to explain that. 
I have told a few people, only to discover that they or a close relative also has it … library books on adhd are in such demand on our
little island that they could be best sellers .. what people dont understand they often scoff at and depreciate , most recently when AID s came into the news in the late 1980”s. It’s helpful reading about ADHD experiences here. I guess how we deal with “public” perception of ADHD is just another aspect of our personalised ADHD life. maybe or maybe not damed if i know.
