RebYidd23, being experienced does not necessarily make someone empathetic.
Even a psychiatrist may be clueless… some people just won’t get it and I do believe that if they got it then they wouldn’t discount ADHD.
Now, I have heard someone whose doctor told her that people with ADHD existed even centuries ago. Those people with ADHD were seen using their ADHD traits to cross the USA in search of gold in California. Today, having ADHD can create a mismatch to the demands of our education system and common career trades. So, even if someone doesn’t regard ADHD as a brain disorder, it doesn’t mean that there is no mental or biological struggle present between the world as it exists today and the person trying to adapt to the current social and environmental structures.
