I'm excited for this!! But I hope they talk more about how it effects people in adulthood.
I feel like whenever I read about adhd management, it's either for kids or parents of kids with adhd. Like autism, adhd doesn't just disappear when you turn 18.
Adhd kids become adhd adults and there's very little information on how to manage that by yourself, and it's twice as hard if you went undiagnosed during childhood due to various things like parental/caregiver denial, being "a good kid" that just got good at masking, or having more internal symptoms (like in inattentiveness, anxiety, depression) than external (being hyperactive) like a majority of women. Due to that, societal expectations perpetuating the myth that it's a male disorder (like the lady in green in this vid saying "being hyper or just a boy"), and it just being understudied in women, the diagnostic rate for US men is 69% higher than women, and majority of women are diagnosed *after* childhood.
It's a huge HUGE issue and if they don't it's a big missed opportunity to shed some light on it.

It's nice showing people who have ADHD and have been able to be successful. But for some reason, it would just depress me more. Seeing that some people find success in spite of ADHD makes me just think that I am actually just garbage because I can't find the way. In the end, I'll just struggle to find reasons not to end it all tbh.
