    Think of it this way. Many ‘normal’ people can exhibit different symptoms that get associated with ADHD. With people who are diagnosed with ADHD, they must pass a certain threshold number of these symptoms and severity.

    IIRC, it’s a similar approach to ASD

      which is honestly so enormously stupid, like the problems don’t exist just because you’re 2% shy of a diagnosis

      it’s like not giving someone a wheelchair just because they can walk 2 meters before falling flat on their face
