Like damn near everything else it's not binary.

It's not like everyone without it is the same, and everyone with is the same.

So for some people, it's just normal human variation. For some people it's a disorder.

If I ate an apple everyday, that's kind of a lot but normal human variation

If I ate 10 apples a day and that's all I ever eat, it's a disorder.

Likewise ADHD can be normal variation or a disorder. Because magnitude matters and almost nothing is truly binary.

Magnitude always matters.

And every single riot scene in that show is amazing. I think my favorite was the cafeteria riot tho.
