I have no preferences unless it involves something super nerdy.
"Where do you want to eat?"
"Doesn't matter to me, you pick."
"Why can't you ever decide anything?"
"I literally have no preference, why do you need me to decide things for you?"
"Because I don't care where we eat either!"
My face: -_-
I feel this in my soul. Imagine having the potential to have almost any question in the world in a matter of just a few seconds and instead of praising what a technological feat this is, people are like "it draws just as good as me in less than 60 seconds?!?! REEEEE!"🙄🤦♂️
Edit: lol. I expressed this poorly. I meant to say that while it's not accurate enough yet to have almost any question in the world answered in just a few seconds, but I'm willing to bet within 5 years accuracy will be close to, if not better than traditional search engines.
Leaving my original dumbassery up. Everyone says stupid shit at some point. And some say stupid shit more than others. I'm probably the latter.🤷♂️😬

We've had that for almost 20 years with wikipedia. People are just too dumb and lazy to use it. It's more reliable that chatgpt but people will denounce wikipedia as unreliable while still using chatgpt.
Or how people are unimpressed with AI image generation, but at the same time - clearly can't tell in apart (people telling artist their art is AI generated because it looks too good or strange). Or we have AI powered V-Tubers interacting with live audience. And than I stop and think about that it's just have been a few years since AI started it's modern day breakthrough - what we see are some primitive cave drawings.
Pre-tldr update: if you believe you are suffering from a disease, a disorder, or is otherwise feeling not well, please go see a doctor. This is the internet, we're not qualified to provide medical advice, and would prescribe horse dewormer for shits and giggles, if it was in our powers.
No, and I dare the people saying yes to present a single article on pubmed to back it up!
Tldr: I'm not saying that you don't have ADHD, just that you may have the correlation a bit mixed up.
What you can have is a situation where you've grown up with ADHD, but you have managed the symptoms. There are various strategies one can employ, and usually you'll develop them by yourself. But with a attentive parent, you can have been taught some strategies as well. Then as an adult you have experienced some stress, and that stress have made you less able to apply your management strategies, and now your existing ADHD is showing.
For some it may show with similar symptoms as depression. Personally I've been in three or four different therapeutic processes for depression. I've been medicated at least twice, and have seen three(?) psychologists. Guess what, none of it actually worked.
A key part of an ADHD diagnosis is determining whether you exhibited symptoms as a child. I got diagnosed in my late 30s/early 40s, and I had to have my parent fill out a form about my childhood behavior 30 years ago. At least in Danish medicine, you cannot be diagnosed with ADHD if you didn't present the symptoms before adulthood.
Results are inconclusive because a lack of research.
A lack of research doesn't equal a lack of total existence. Just because they don't have enough to go on, doesn't mean it's not a thing.
The brain still isn't fully understood anywhere in the world and those who say it is, are lying.
The fact is, behavior is one of the worst "Illnesses" to treat and if the symptoms align and are treated the exact same way and the behavior never goes away or can be effectively fixed, then what exactly is the difference?
Am I going to shun someone that has experienced the same things as me but the reasons they experience these things are different? No. That doesn't add up.
No, you can't. Adhd is a developmental disorder, so you're born with it.
I suppose a tbi or stroke or something could affect the frontal/prefrontal cortex and cause executive dysfunction, but it's not something like depression or anxiety that can just pop up.
This is incorrect. Due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to: traumatic brain injuries, extreme compounding anxiety and/or depression, or PTSD could all cause symptoms that align perfectly with ADHD. even if those initial problems could be fixed, the brain works in such a way that the behavior that aligns with ADHD may not be so easily fixed once an individual has done it for so long.
Edit: this is just unprofessional opinion. Go see a doctor if things are interrupting your daily life.
That the symptoms are similar does not mean that stress, anxiety, or depression will cause a person with no history of ADHD to suddenly have ADHD. It just means that the symptoms are similar.
LLMs don't remember or understand anything. That's not jist a technicality - they literally just make shit up. They string together words to make it look like human writing. That's it. That's all they do. It's a massive feat, to be sure, but don't attribute any extra qualities to it.
I have had this thought, but also add a massive dose of fawning behaviour. At least, that's how it vibes to me. Sometimes. As someone with ADHD and a lot of fawning behaviour
Without knowing exactly the types of things this child has said, this article unfortunately makes me a bit worried for that child's developmental future.😬
If the AI bias goes as far as to overlook certain traits as "AI mimicry", I fear less and less children will get the diagnosis and help they need to function in society.😔
Okay, so adhd meme ha ha funny whatever, serious question, it's as much a struggle for neurotypical people close to with adhd as it is for the afflicted themselves.
How does one bridge this gap? A neurotypical response is essentially "get the right meds and figure yourself out". But the neurodivergent response always seems to be "no. We make memes about it instead" like that's some kind of appropriate answer. I say this with some level of tounge-in-cheek, but it's what I've experienced. I have someone in my life who is medicated for adhd, but only has a mild positive response due to them. It's very difficult to support them when the outward appearance is they are unwilling to help themselves, even though I understand that it's not an unwillingness as much as an inability.
This is only your perspective and not true for most of us, even in the slightest. Medicine only works to a certain extent. MUCH more work has to be done by the person themselves than just taking a pill. Sometimes it compounds with a habitual issue that needs to be corrwcted. For example with timers to let an ADHDer know when it's time to stop doing something mundane and do something more important or a Todo list that's featured prominently somewhere.
Brains are something that isn't fully understood by anyone yet and medical professionals are always researching how to manipulate the brain to behave in a "normal" way that society accepts. And that's just the thing, it's also a societal issue. Just because society tells us we should behave in a certain, narrow way, doesn't mean that way is comfortable or works for everyone. Matter of fact, I'd say a LOT of times, there needs to be more compassion, understanding, and compromises made by those without ADHD as to at least slightly compromise on certain situations. That way both parties could come to some sort of agreement that works for all of those involved.
Though if someone is refusing diagnosis altogether because "LUL ADHDMEMES" and it's affecting their lives and yours by proxy, it's an issue with that person and they need to seek some help.
