I don't know what to think about it anymore myself. it does seem like a trend.

But at the same time as someone diagnosed in my 30's that meds really helped. i'd feel like i'm pulling up the ladder on others.

The neurodiversity at work trend does irk me a little, especially when people start talking about so called "superpowers" and their benefits to the company.

What would the world be like if an identity-associated (and seemingly ego-threatening to others) label was not a requirement to get access to a consumable good that made a material impact not only on an individual’s wellbeing, and life-time outcomes, but even for those who value this more, value to the economic and capital and social system.

Like imagine saying you need to spend thousands in proving to people that coffee is something that would help you get a pep in your step at 3pm on Wednesday to be able to get your morning latte.

Or to reframe this, why does everyone care so much, especially in an era when we’ve given up so many other values and multi-generational investments at times in a baby and bathwater sense.

> start talking about so called "superpowers"

I cannot stand people like that.

I am not trying to be all 'woe is me', but ADHD has had non-stop negative impacts on my life from childhood through present time. I am in my 30s too (diagnosed in early 20s and treated since), and I've basically just given up on life.
