You can be an ADHDer and still be tired of how it’s talked about.
The superpower narrative? Sometimes it’s just a mask for how hard things really are.
The trauma-only explanation? Doesn’t hold up when you look at the evidence.
And the idea that “everyone’s a bit ADHD now”? That’s just lazy thinking.
None of this helps the people who are navigating real challenges — in work, in relationships, in their own heads.
ADHD is real. It’s complex. And it deserves better than TikTok psychology and productivity hacks dressed up as support.
You’re not broken if you’re struggling. You’re not doing it wrong if routines don’t fix it.
Sometimes the most helpful thing is cutting through the noise.
Stay kind and curious,
