Rather that saying that as an opinion say that as if it was an objective truth because it is one. It is truly a terrible name for the disorder because it’s named after how we inconvenience neurotypicals and not after our struggles.

Yup. It’s a developmental disorder instead of a mental illness (like autism). Our frontal lobe or prefrontal cortex didn’t develop properly.
I think ADHD is a horrible name for it. Executive Functioning Disorder is a much more accurate name.
