So to set the scene, let me share some videos that have been popping up on my social feed lately.

Rarely specific signs of ADHD.

Your platter is trash.

You can learn a new skill in record time.

It will take me two weeks to pick my clothes up off the floor.

You can remember really weird, minute details from the past.

I can't remember why I've walked into a room.

These are all from the hashtag ADHD.

And these kinds of videos, from how to self-diagnose to how to manage a diagnosis, are all

over social feeds.

And one study found that over a third of the claims about ADHD on social media weren't related

at all to ADHD or even other diagnoses, but were instead just, quote, reflecting normal

human experience.

You go through dayby savings without ever changing clock.

Since you ever leave your laptop sitting outside by a tree, you might have ADHD.

All these online voices start to make it seem like anything could be a sign of a diagnosis.

Now I'm not trying to say ADHD looks one way or that it can't affect many parts of people's lives.

Trust me, it affects many parts of mine.

But this all has me wondering, what happens when a diagnosis goes viral?

And when people say, oh, that sounds like me, how do you separate personal identity from a diagnosable condition?
