“ADHD” really doesn’t describe it for me. I’m going to say:
“I have permanently low dopamine and norepinephrine levels due to genetic and environmental factors. My nervous system can be easily overwhelmed affecting my ability to make life decisions or handle strong emotions.”

People who say ADHD is a superpower don't get it, it may be for 10% of the time. The rest of the time is a horribly hard shitty slog.
I.e. the way society is structured accelerates harm and is set up to intensify emotion. Those who tolerate this moderate their personalities to do so; they have to comply where I cannot.
Just a good idea to consider.
We are the canaries in the cool mines who are supposed to be sounding the alarm.
