    Good Ted talk, thanks 👏👏👏

    But also, I’d be careful when bringing up the whole “X isn’t just an ADHD thing” thing… because it’s true for almost every single aspect, the whole point is that we have issues X,Y,Z to the degree that it has significant negative effects on our lives. Dismissing issues as “not just adhd” undermines the seriousness of ADHD which is already chronically underrated as a disability. (I’ll take suggestions for alternative wordings to “underrated as a disability”)

      Oh sure sure - I did not intend to minimize ADHD in any way. I was just thinking about my situation where the “finishing thoughts” effect was related to a different kind of neurodivergency. My aim was to be more inclusive, not less.
