Since the turn of the century, rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have skyrocketed. One in ten American kids currently suffer from the condition.
A chronic, debilitating illness, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects people’s behavior. It negatively affects a child’s academic achievements and is a considerable barrier to successful socialization.
Since 2019, ADHD has exploded on social media platforms. Millions of American kids are affected by ADHD. Many of them turn to the internet for answers. Some turn to TikTok, one of the most problematic apps on the planet.
ADHD, according to some supposed experts, is a blessing. They’re wrong. Contrary to the nonsensical musings spouted by members of the neurodiversity movement, there’s no concrete evidence that ADHD fuels creativity.
