Hi 👋🏼 Hope you don’t mind me jumping in, but I wanted to share my thoughts.
No, I don’t think it’s wrong to view ADHD as a disability or as a disorder — because that’s what it is. It makes life very difficult for those of us who have it, and it can be isolating, especially since it is not well understood by those who don’t have it. It is a disorder, and a lot of the time, it sucks.
However, I do think that it comes with some common traits that can be positive, depending on context and viewpoint. For example, people with ADHD tend to be very creative and to think outside the box. While this may cause problems in some settings, it can be a real benefit in others. A person with ADHD may struggle in a typical office setting, but would thrive in a more free work environment, such as a musician, artist, or entrepreneur. In addition, we also tend to thrive on chaos and adrenaline, so we can be very suited to careers such as firefighters, police officers, or other high pressure, adrenaline-fueled jobs. We also tend to have high empathy and a unique ability to make connections that other people may not see, which can also work for us in the fields of medicine, psychology, or counselling. People with ADHD in those work settings still have issues, because they still have a disorder, but they can use aspects or traits that come with the disorder to make a success of their work. This can also apply to other areas of life beyond work; I was just using work as an example.
I hope this is helpful; I’m no expert, but these are just my thoughts on ADHD personally, as someone who has it. It is a disorder and it causes many problems for me, but I also value the good parts — the creativity, the empathy, and the way that I think a little different than other people.
