    1. Just because something is a disability doesn’t mean you can’t call it neurodivergent. It’s just a broader term that means that you’re different.

    2. ADHD isn’t a disability for everyone. Plenty of people function fine with it.

      Just to be clear, something is called a disorder when it affects your ability to do everyday things.

        Disorder ~= disability, maybe “function” wasn’t the right word on it’s own. Function enough that it’s not a disability, but still a disorder.

        You give too much credit to psychiatric ideas. Someone can be different from the norm in ways that constitute neurodivergence and be oppressed because of them without being disabled necessarily. Lots of people are only considered disabled because society wasn’t designed for them.
