The thing that needs to be cured is the dizzying array of forces aimed at crushing ADHD people to pieces, at least in the US (can’t speak for other places).
You ever look at the number of people in jail with ADHD? Society is trying to kill us off I don’t really think there is another sober read of the statistics.
In other words there is a cure for ADHD to a large extent but it doesn’t involve curing the person with ADHD.
I agree 100%. People who are neurodivergent are demonized and treated very unfairly and it's disgusting.
I think it goes beyond tribalism. It's about a baseline of normality society has come up with in recent times. People with ADHD and autism weren't treated as complete others before those diagnoses existed. They were considered eccentric, but not considered "different from the in-group."
