[SilvioMoltisantiDan]

[avenox]

yes because its a mental illness

The fzct that you were just bron ND, and theres no way to fix your fucked up brain and mental health is crazy.

Regular shy kids/weird kids atleast can try and be NT, unlikr you

 

[Tusseleif]

Yes but ADHD cels if they have the hyperaktive part can actually be more social and thus have more friends and be more likeable

Someone dyslexic is also considered ND

So if you ever say "ND" just remember that you could be lumping people with very different life experiences under one brush

 

[Neucher]

technically yes probably but taking stimulants definitely isn't

Friendship formation (making friends, keeping friends, and having successful interactions with peers and adults) constitutes a critical developmental-social milestone for adolescents. This process can be especially challenging for adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, whose attentional problems may negatively affect their social skills (verbal and nonverbal language) and who fail to appreciate the complexity and nuances of adolescent communication. They often do not respond to feedback cues. They may be perceived as "immature," lacking empathy, and loners and losers, they may endure a "reputational bias," and they often experience coexisting challenges (eg, language problems, learning disabilities, or obesity). Successful and gratifying interactions, or the lack thereof, deeply and broadly affect adolescents: their self-esteem, self-image, confidence, school-learning, lifestyle, behavior, sexual activity, intimacy formation, mental-emotional well-being, and physical health. Successful achievement of this ever-evolving milestone has lifelong implications. This article describes various social-interactional skills, other components of social competence, and the dysfunctions that may cause social failure and suffering and describes how to evaluate and help manage problems in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

People with ADHD of all ages are more likely to have problems with social skills, such as social interaction and forming and maintaining friendships. This is true for all presentations. About half of children and adolescents with ADHD experience social rejection by their peers compared to 10–15% of non-ADHD children and adolescents.

Tf you mean? ADHD will definitely ruin your social life, it’s a spectrum, just like autism.

And yes it’s considered ND. ADHD is a neurological disorder.
