Most people don't have ADHD. You had to do something most people don't have to do. You adapted to your condition, and without support. I'm sorry you didn't get the recognition you may have benefitted from as a child.
Recognizing my disability doesn't make me helpless or lazy, it helps me get the resources that enable me to perform like the world expects.
Being 6ft tall can give you joint and heart problems in later life. Flat-chested women can be excellent swimmers. Having eyes too far apart might make you an unsafe driver.
