    ADHD causes executive dysfunction. You don’t get to choose what you’re doing.

    If that sounds crazy, that’s because it is. That’s why it’s a neurological disorder.

    ADHD meds give you more executive function. You get to choose what you do.

    Maybe Mozart would’ve been happier if he hyper fixated on harpsichord less and showered more. If he was ADHD, he didn’t get to make that choice.

    But regardless, Mozart wouldn’t survive today’s society with a harpsichord fixation. At best he’d be in a mediocre band. At worst he’d be homeless. If you aren’t comfortable with that concept, then maybe we need to fix society.
