Everyone's right about ADHD. That's exactly the problem.

Описание: ADHD isn't just "naughty kids" or a "trend"—it's real, misunderstood, and costing us all. 😩
In this Short, we break down the paradox: everyone is right about ADHD... and that's why no one wins.

Late-diagnosed adults (like me at 48) finally get why life felt like swimming upstream
Kids overwhelmed by screens & modern life—not all have ADHD
The "perfect storm" of missed generations + attention crisis

Key facts:

~15.5 million U.S. adults (6%) diagnosed; half first in adulthood (CDC 2024)
Boys diagnosed 2x more than girls in childhood—women often missed for years
77–88% heritable—it's neurobiological, not character flaws
U.S. economy loses ~$123 billion/year mostly from unemployment & productivity hits

From stigma shifts ("lazy" → "fake") to the real mismatch: open offices & rigid schools punish different wiring... but crisis mode & pattern-spotting? ADHD brains often crush it.
We don't need more debate—we need literacy. Stop moralizing symptoms. Start building flexible systems that leverage neurodiversity as a strength, not a deficit.
Low-cost accommodations (flex hours, clear tasks, noise control) pay off big in retention & output.
If this hits home, comment your age of diagnosis or biggest "aha" moment. 👇
