The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people’s lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious ‘don’t take what you see on social media at face value, do some research’ and isn’t a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.
