In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?

Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.

Yeah and in fairness it can be easier to find something to complain about than come up with positive or even neutral topics but I found most interesting conversations to be about small things I didn't think could be linked to ADHD.

Also that's true, if it's all Americans it's hard to find out what it's like to get a diagnosis in another country or what meds are being prescribed etc.
