Perhaps those also absent from the study are those with ADHD, but whose family accepted and nurtured it instead of projecting onto them and never listening. Those people don't usually need to mask and don't end up mentally underdeveloped because the people entrusted with their care actually cared about them, rather than trying to "mold" them into something they're not.

Seriously, why does ADHD and other neurodivergent "treatment" always fail to listen to the afflicted? It's ableist and othering, and it's fucking disgusting.

My family loves and accepts me and my sons. They still push the same bullshit here. You can't jog your way out of adhd and "you just lack discipline" is literally "telling a woman they deserve it for looking like a slut" level of being totally off the mark and clueless. I even have a significant amount of multi-discipline training and actual professional research under my belt and they ignore me and the experts I seek for help.
