Completely agree. People with ADHD are simply incompatible with many facets of mormal life.

Take school for example. If someone doesn't fit into the mass education model, they say they have attention deficit. That same person might then go home and hyperfocus on computer programming for 12 hours straight like a machine. It makes no sense.

The mass education model where hundreds of people sit on a chair listening to lectures for hours on end just isn't right for people with ADHD. Medications are just there to help cope with an imperfect reality which refuses to change for our sake.

ADHD isn't a personality quirk and also, it is fundamentally a disorder of regulation not attention. The education system (for all its drawbacks and inflexibility) works for most because they're able to regulate the urge to get up and climb random shit when they can't figure out how to start writing the answer to Q1 on the worksheet..

I also think its cope to take a disorder where a specific part of the brain tasked with very specific functions is physically less dense and performs than other people and go "ADHD isnt real he's just quirky!1"

Notion sites aren’t my favorite and this website has some annoying quirks (like scrolling to the top after fully loading)

But if this is what it takes for someone to generously share so much information with us for free then I really don’t care if I have to wait a couple extra seconds for a page load or if a tab takes up 600MB of RAM. I know this thinking makes the web purists angry, but the majority of people who visit these sites to learn aren’t going to be impeded or even bothered. Even on my older iPhone on non-5G cellular it loads in a couple of seconds.

If MIT were responsible, sure! But Notion is a $10b company that shouldn't be shitting up my device's free memory just to show a basic webpage. Very much the same deal with FB marketplace which is probably the worst offender.

Not everyone has a fast device also.

might be able to incorporate an ambient AI scribe into this flow pretty well, plenty of docs are seeing success with that.

There are a couple of SaaS products in Australia that do examination transcription.

I know of one practice that went all-in on the stuff. They had to re-hire their secretaries after their AI transcription recorded "this bone normal, no damage to this other area" but totally failed to mention that the first part of the sentence was "distal fracture to whatever", ultimately failing at it's most basic bloody function.

I'm pretty sure the founders are not doctors but tech industry types, who figured that there was some non-zero error rate and just like, collectively shrugged at the consequences.
