  • I read the articles and strongly disagree. ADHD is real and meaningful. It’s not a reaction to “illegitimate authority” or “working a boring job”.

    Your sources are pushing ADHD denialism and read as ableist right wing nonsense. ODD too.

    Many people with severe anxiety and/or depression are also anti-authoritarians. Often a major pain of their lives that fuels their anxiety and/or depression is fear that their contempt for illegitimate authorities will cause them to be financially and socially marginalized; but they fear that compliance with such illegitimate authorities will cause them existential death.

    Going stupid — or passive aggression — is one of many nondisease explanations for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies show that virtually all ADHD-diagnosed children will pay attention to activities that they enjoy or that they have chosen. In other words, when ADHD-labeled kids are having a good time and in control, the “disease” goes away.

    This is an insult to people who suffer from real conditions and an insult to those who suffered under Soviet style weaponization of mental health.

    People in Germany have very high standards. If a train that comes once an hour is 20 min late it’s considered unreliable. To be fair we can expect better though.

    But As someone who has lived in the USA in the past but now lives in Germany, Germany feels so much better transport wise.
