I read the articles and strongly disagree. ADHD is real and meaningful. It’s not a reaction to “illegitimate authority” or “working a boring job”.

Your sources are pushing ADHD denialism and read as ableist right wing nonsense. ODD too.

Many people with severe anxiety and/or depression are also anti-authoritarians. Often a major pain of their lives that fuels their anxiety and/or depression is fear that their contempt for illegitimate authorities will cause them to be financially and socially marginalized; but they fear that compliance with such illegitimate authorities will cause them existential death.

Going stupid — or passive aggression — is one of many nondisease explanations for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies show that virtually all ADHD-diagnosed children will pay attention to activities that they enjoy or that they have chosen. In other words, when ADHD-labeled kids are having a good time and in control, the “disease” goes away.

This is an insult to people who suffer from real conditions and an insult to those who suffered under Soviet style weaponization of mental health.

Tho has nothing to do with Soviet style weaponization of mental illness.

This is plain old political prosecution which the U.S. is well known for.

I suspected so, but I am open to evidence.

Really? I am not seeing Soviet style weaponization of mental illness in China or the U.S. Like rightwing nut jobs talk about “Trump Derangement Syndrome” but that isn’t recognized in the U.S. or China.

What are you referring to?
