Often, the issue is that, no, this isn’t ADHD by itself. It’s when shit compounds and causes actual disruption of life (the base definition of a Disorder).
Is any individual post a sign of ADHD? No.
But a collection of them could be.
And yet we shouldn’t fucking gatekeep it because many already explained that the diagnosis system is utter bog shit and many ADHD symptoms are just normal problems but in steroids.
Gate keeping is distinctly NOT answering a question clearly and directly. Stop being upset over something honestly asked and answered. It’s pathetic.
Self-disgnosis is absolutely a problem. Pointing out that these are problems that are not exclusive to the disorder is important, regardless of any motivated thinking.
Now please… Grow up and stop gatekeeping discourse.
Go make your own community then. Reddit ass mentality. This is Lemmy where you are free to make your own community without fear of some admins shutting you down
Adhd is not usually diagnosed for one of these symptoms. But if you have a lot of them there’s a pattern of likelihood that you have it.
I’m diagnosed and one of my biggest issues with adhd is this reading issue for me. Which also gets compounded with my less than half of the usual short term memory length of around 8 and a half seconds.
Ok so what I’m about to say is my own experience can’t speak for anyone else but IMO with my ADHD it’s basically a normal brain with some attributes for better or for worse are enhanced
Like yeah everyone loses focus sometimes, everyone sometimes just stops processing language, everyone gets distracted by something, everyone gets excited about a topic they like, and so on
But as one of my favorite posts said: “everyone pees, but when you pee 60 times a day you should probably see a doctor”
Is that exclusively ADHD thing though?

It bothers me that there are “trendy” disorders

The fuck it’s not!
That is exactly how I feel
If it happens once in a while: Normal.
If it happens literally every time you read: ADHD.
This is true of a shit ton of symptoms of ADHD and probably why it isn’t treated seriously and goes undiagnosed in many people.

I guess if every ADHD symptom is continued to be downplayed as “everyone does this,” then no, it’s not exclusively an ADHD thing
No, but every meme posted can’t be a universally accepted, whole view of what ADHD is.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I struggle to read books because of exactly this, where my partner, also diagnosed, loves reading.

What?
I don’t know
No, attention issues can be caused by depression, anxiety, stress, bad sleep hygiene or problems like sleep apnea, and many other things.
