Thanks to commenter “ILikeGrammer17” for the idea! ADHD is a type of neurodivergence where people are missing the DRD2 gene, making it difficult for their neurons to respond to dopamine, which is a hormone that helps with attention and pleasure. The rate of diagnosis is rising 4x more in adults than it is in children — meaning that for a lot of people, they’ve gone their whole life thinking they were “broken” rather than “different”. Although experts are still at odds as to whether it’s because ADHD is more prevalent/passed down, or simply because of better understanding and faster diagnoses, the reality is that diagnoses are going up. So, to help you with your ADHD marker, IWSMT has provided a perfect list of distracting memes to waste your time!
