It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome. (slrpnk.net)

So much to unpick here, and so little inclination to bother. Like many with ADHD, I’m sick of dealing with the constant disinformation and toxic positivity that surrounds this condition - and which you’re contributing to.

If you think ADHD is about attention, then you really still don’t get it. Go and watch Dr Russell Barkley’s videos on YouTube. There’s a seminar about 2.5 hours long that is well worth the time.

I might need some more education apparently, so the seminar you're talking about is this one ?
