This and "ADHD is a superpower" are my pet peeves. I get the sentiment. I get that the person saying that is just trying to be nice, but no. No ADHD is not a superpower. It would be the worst superpower if it was one. You're telling me that basically being a chaotic and neurotic mess all the time is appealing just doesn't sound right. I wouldn't trust myself with an actual superpower. I doubt I would be like Homelander, but there would be so many intrusive thoughts that come along with that territory.
