    Tons of intense, short-lived hobbies is one of the biggest hallmarks of ADHD.

    This is how we end up with basically normal people getting pumped full of meds that were not designed for them. Someone reads examples like the one posted, talks to a doctor and the next thing you know are on a cocktail of Adderall and antidepressants, which in turn destroys their ability to sleep, so then they also end up taking Ambien. So on, and so forth.

    Over-prevalence of this notion does a lot more harm to me than people wrongly identifying with the OP.

      And that’s really more the responsibility of the doctor than the meme viewer anyway.
