You know how that weird male fantasy despicted in movies that a girl is completely unaware of herself and her surroundings? The dude then raises to be the the only one that notices all of what she is. But it's adhd. She is clumsy and keep stumbling on things, it's adhd. She oscillates from self absorbed in her own thoughts to infodump when confortable. It's adhd shown as a quirk of an adorable naive girl. A damsel in distress that will only understand all her potential through the dude's eyes and be forever grateful. He and only he sees her and is the only one willing to help turn this ugly duck into a beautiful swan. It's like finding the concept of virginity in the wild, like a Pokémon.

I blame Hollywood for romanticizing adhd and reduce struggling symptoms to adorable quirks. It is so incrusted in people's imaginary subconscious that they see adhd behavior as something positive and cute to look at. It's not mf. It's an incurable illness that has a reset button everytime we go to bed.
