Although awareness and recognition of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD) have increased over the past few decades, particularly through the pandemic years, its effects are still trivialized in the public discourse. The core symptoms are brushed off as stereotyped nuisances of flitting attention, bouncing legs, and misjudged spontaneity, and more exotic but similarly misleading characterizations and "look squirrel" memes that provide clickbait on social media. These misrepresentations create an image of an ADHD diagnosis as divorced from "real-life problems."
