Okay so what do we actually rename ADHD to?
Every word is wrong for at least half of us:
Attention: not the problem, it’s actually everywhere
Deficit: implies something's missing
Hyperactivity: doesn't apply to inattentive presentation
Disorder: frames architecture as pathology
My proposal: NLE. Non-Linear Engagement.
Three words. No deficit. No disorder. Just a different operating pattern.
Your brain is not broken. It doesn't execute sequentially like some others though. It runs on interest, novelty, and pattern recognition. It does a bit of this, a bit of that, and eventually the thing gets done. Or it doesn't. And this is data, but not a failure.
