    I agree somehwat. If people did not hate unusual or different behaviors and treat others poorly as a result, then kids without a diagnosis would not have a problem. But teachers and parents frequently get super frustrated with ADHD kids, and I have never recovered from how it made me feel as a kid, even decades later.

      That’s very true. Maybe their real use is to change other peoples’ perception. But that’s very… sad to need a diagnosis to do.
