And the amount of undiagnosed adults is missing. There are very little reasons why ADHD would just disappear when growing up. People simply suppress their emotions.

    It's also conveniently missing that adults affected by ADHD are up to 6x more likely to also have depression than adults without ADHD.
    Kind of an important point if you want your kid to actually live to adulthood.

    Yeah. It's annoying when people pretend these things are superpowers by ignoring the negative effects which stigmatizes anyone struggling with it.

    "There are famous people who succeeded with it! Many become business owners! Why are you still you? You're obviously not trying."

    And let's see some statistics on those business owners.
    Are they actually successful, or just 3x more likely to start a business on impulse and then 5x more likely to go bankrupt because of ADHD?

    ADHD isn't an emotion that can be suppressed.

    Most adults develop cooping mechanism. Some of which are describe here such as having a routine. That does mean they don't have ADHD thought. Most are simply never diagnosed.
