      Nah man, if you explain things with analogies and metaphors you definitely got the ADHDs! Better get on those meds, yo!

      Lately every vaguely relatable thing I read on the internet is a sure-fire sign of ADHD it seems.

      This is uh… one of the worst examples of “internet horoscope” I’ve ever read lol. I’ve been diagnosed, am currently unmedicated, and resonate with… practically none of this.

      And one of them is literally “explaining things with metaphors”. That’s one of the most generic things I’ve heard in my life lol.

    Fuck.

    No seriously, how accurate is this thing? Is it possible to have the whole bingo and not have ADHD?

      This has essentially no overlap with ADHD. It’s just a pop/incorrect understanding of ADHD. People with ADHD won’t do many of those things, and people without ADHD can do all of them. There’s even some reason to think this graphic could be inversely indicative of ADHD. For example, the only research of which I’m aware on ADHD and metaphor or analogy is actually that individuals with ADHD are worse at processing and understanding metaphors and are worse at analogical reasoning.
