    Yeah in the US, at least on employment forms, ADHD is classified as a disability.

    Not that it’s wise to admit to it or that you’d get accommodations anyway but still. “Differently abled” my ass. /rant

      I’d say “differently abled” applies.

      It can be a nightmare at times.

      Hell before I got medicated it took me literally like 4.5 to 5 hours to get ready for work in the mornings and I’d still have nothing to show for it.

      Nowadays I’m down to 1 hour for the entire routine.

      A couple of my coworkers are still trying to find something that works for them and they’re struggling pretty hard.
