Reframing ADHD: From Disorder to Difference

The discussion highlights the notion that the term ADHD, standing for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, carries a negative connotation that can be damaging, especially to children receiving the diagnosis. Instead, it is proposed that ADHD represents a brain difference, not a disorder, emphasizing the need for more positive and uplifting terminology. Alternatives like 'selective focus advantage' or 'neuro spicy' are suggested to reframe the perception of ADHD in a more empowering light. This shift aims to focus on strengths rather than deficits, promoting self-acceptance and understanding.
