If I have to hear another random person say "everyone is diagnosed with ADHD these days"...

The problem with ADHD imo is that it's studied surprisingly poorly so diagnosis is a crapshoot. Like bloody hell I was told at a young age "You have ADHD, take these pills" then years later it was "Wait no misdiagnosis you have Autism not ADHD stop taking pills" and it fucked me up hard And only recently the doctors figured out you can have BOTH ADHD and Autism and *guess what I had both*. Not me taking a dig at other people with ADHD, I just think the diagnosis system is a dumpster fire because of stuff like the aforementioned "Autistic people can't have ADHD" which fucked me up for YEARS. Sorry I just needed somewhere to rant/vent about my own problems tbh
