Is ADHD just a euphemism for retardation? - Blackpillcel - 16-09-2025
If you compare intellectual disability and ADHD symptoms, there is a lot of overlap, plus Dr Sam Vaknin said there is no known way to detech ADHD through brain scans, the diagnosis happens by checking symptoms in a bunch of lists and then you get a free pass to be a stimulant junkie.
In the past, humans unable to memorize, learn or focus were considered stupid and now being unable to remember to set an alarm clock has devolved from lazyness and low IQ into something mysterious and quirky.
Opinions?

a lot of people are diagnosed as children or into their early teens. the statistics are that most of those are of masculine sex. id say its likely due to a combination of unrestricted and unsupervised usage of electronic devices at an early age and the rest of it being normal male behavior being pathologized as usual. the pharmaceutical industry has shaped the fields of psychiatry and psychology so its pure evil in the works to poison children, most of them being young boys doing young boys stuff

in the past, like way in the past before that, primal adhd niggas had ccrazy success slaughtering prey just because their reward centers lack normal dopamine drip . ironically your environment determines if what is useful or not. just imagine all the prime jb slain as a result of having too much fresh veal at your disposal cause ur a spastic retard

most of these conditions aren't real. they're just made up for insurance and welfare benefits

absolutely nailed it.
holy cage at triggered 90 iq special snowflakes in the comments.
walking around and telling people, or just implying, you have ADHD because it sounds better than coming to terms with being an unremarkable loser should be sanctioned with an "i'm an imbecile" tattoo on your forehead

those people are in an infinite abductive regression of categorization where a form of disorder (that they do not have, but are vague enough in description to fill the role) has become their entire 'persona,' bleak ngl

the writer is pretty brutal
Quote:With social media, people can go to a site and read about these disorders, open up about personal experiences and difficulties, share them with others, feel a sense of connection with and validation by their new online community, get sympathy and support. They belong to a “club.”
In an April post, I wrote about this phenomenon and listed some of the reasons people want to embrace diagnoses they don’t have. Right now, “neurodiverse” and “on the spectrum” are very popular, and “ADHD” to a lesser degree. These are seen as somehow desirable, or exotic, or labels that make someone feel special. After all, no one writes in with, “5 Hidden Reasons Why I Am Paranoid,” or “5 Hidden Reasons Why I Have a Shoe Fetis h.” Ugh. Those are not popular at all.

theres a r-dd-t thread on an 'adhd' sub where the users describe that once they took stimulants, that their inner monologue stopped lingering or running on, and apparently, that is the normiedom state that, in their minds, was what they were supposed to achieve or be if they were normal. the whole thing gave me a headache

try reading subreddits about these topics, lmfao
a bunch of "omg, this is so me" replies to every thread where those retards try to one-up other fellow aspies by posting about how special and quirky their habits are, but the possibility that they are all just generic humans doing generic human stuff is somehow flying above their highly "self-aware" heads
basically, imagine a bunch of people commenting "omg, i can't believe other people know about this song and like it too" under something with 2.5 billion views
