Long ago, some doctors decided I had ADD/ADHD. As a kid I did not want to believe them so I spurned their professional medical advice and instead developed complex coping mechanisms for my inability to focus. There's a whole discussion I could put together on how society conditions us to think of permanent medication as somehow admitting weakness

Doctors never decided this for me but I've honestly wondered about the same thing--as well as the degree to which some things are human variability vs disorder.

Also, wow, a human posted on LJ, first time I've seen that in... years?

Hah, yeah, I'm trying to pay it a little more attention these days.

I haven't seen anyone else posting, but fuck it, I guess that's part of the attraction? It's kind of like yelling into a void.
